FHA Adopts Grandmothers Members of the Future Homemakers of America led by their eight officers and chapter advisor Mrs. Erickson worked together to aid the community, promote home economics, and to have fun. Each FHA member adopted a grandmother. The girls helped their adopted grandmothers individually throughout the years by helping her, running errands, or by just visiting with her. FHA ers also cooperated with the FFA in a paper drive. The girls raised money for their organization by selling concessions at football games. A white elephant silent auction was held to make money for the scholarship fund. Special highlights during the year were Daddy-date Night, Mother- daughter Banquet, and the FHA-FFA roller skating party.

Their monthly meetings were led by Presi- dent Tim Winquist and their advisor, Mr. Quick. Other officers for the 1973-74 year were: vice-president - Bryan Eden, secretary-Steve Farley, and treasurer-Paul Saugstad. Again this year the FFA sold citrus fruit to people in the com- munity. The highlight of the year was the Father-son Banquet. Members also took part in various judging contests. Something new that was put into action this year was a paper drive. Once a month the FFA with the help of the FHAwent around the city of Alcester and picked up old newspapers that the people of the community donated. This was a project that was not only fun to do but also helped the community. Another project of the FFA was landscaping around the new school building.
