$1,000 raised sends FHA members to State By devoting most of their time to holding fund raisers, the Future Home- makers of America had a busy year at DHS. Spanish kitchens brought in about $200, and instead of the annual enchilada supper, a chile supper was held. That event brought in $300. Another popular idea was the sale of miniature stuffed animals, such as dogs, bears, bunnies, and ducks. These, along with the sale of carnations for Valentine ' s Day. brought in about $500. In October, FHA members and advi- sors traveled to Cliff for the district H meeting. They listened to reports about the national convention, ideas for fund raisers, plans for State and also played games. An outdoor lunch and installa- tion of new district H officers closed the meeting. The State meeting was held in Albur- querque in mid-March. Both FHA advisors, Sandra Burk and Pat McGhee, along with Vangie Herrera, Irma Herrera, Gloria Padilla, Rosie Gonzalez, Angela Holguin, Cheryl Hays, Carola Hays, Bill Burt, Debra Saenz, and Liz Baeza attended State. FHA chapters from all over New Mexico set up booths on cake decorat- ing, rose making, movies on various subjects, and jazzercising to disco music. Many workshops on nutrition, healthy babies, teenage pregnancy, parenthood, photography, and sex roles in the classroom were open to all FHA ' ers to attend. They also attended a concert by the El Dorado Goldiggers and a hot air balloon lift-off in the parking lot at the convention hotel. The State convention was closed with an installation of new state offi- cers and an awards assembly. Senior Vangie Herrera was awarded an FHA scholarship worth $125 for two semes- ters. She was awarded the scholarship on the basis of her grades, financial need, and on an essay she wrote about herself. A change for FHA for the new year is that it will be incorporated as a class next year. This means that people wanting to be in FHA will have to take it as a regular class. Officers will be elected after workshops on job respon- sibilities and parliamentary procedure are held in order for all the members to become better aware of what FHA really is. Sandra Burk, in her 3rd year as head FHA sponsor, is really excited about the class. I ' m real anxious for FHA to be a class. I think we ' ll be better able to accomplish a whole lot more. During the class hour, members will discuss all future FHA plans, thus almost eliminating the necessity to hold meetings after school and at lunch. FHA officers were Vangie Herrera, president; Liz Baeza, secretary; Gloria Padilla, treasurer; Rosie Gonzales, his- torian; Angela Holguin, reporter; Irma Herrera, parliamentarian; and Hope Sanchez, vice-president of recreation. 1.

Honor Society initiates 3 1 new members in April Twelve seniors and 21 juniors were tapped by the old members in April during second hour. There was no assembly as in previous years but their names were announced over the public address system. Character, leadership, providing ser- vices to the community and maintain- ing a high scholastic average are the qualities for which Honor Society members were selected. Officers chosen the day of induction were Brent Hunt, president; Annette Meyer, vice-president; Jimmy Leupold, secretary; and Steve Edward, treasurer. Mrs. Ruth Eaves completed her sev- enth year as Honor Society sponsor. The annual Powder Puff game between junior and senior girls was the big money raiser to help the society award a $200 scholorship. National Honor Society is a group of people who have worked hard through- out their school year and deserve to be recognized. 1.
