The FHA selection in the school chorus be- gan last lune as a bit of impromptu. The newly installed officers piled into the school bus and went to a summer camp at Lexington for Offic- ers' Workshop. There the retiring chapter president, lacelyn Leonard, became the first Nebraska girl to achieve the degree of State Homemaker. The FHA staff hap ily agrees that the clothing drive lor the needy in Europe WGS an eXll'UOl'd?HCIl'Y SUCCESS. STANDING: Lillian Hohensee, Ianice Eisenhauer, Cleo Hummel, Mrs. Gene- vieve Fitch.

At the district conference in Crete it was decided that FHA would work with the Save The Chil- dren Federation to collect clothing for the shiv- ering little ones of Europe. With the co-oper- ation of the other school organizations, the stu- dent body and the people of the community, the Fairbury chapter amassed 725 pounds-- the largest single contribution in the state. During several quieter interludes, the club members adopted a uniform, built up a music scrapbook and sold taffy apples. Now the tempo became gayer, faster. At the Leap Year party the girls invited the fellows, paid the bills and supplied the food and entertainment. Next came the stunt night skit, which was frankly ragtime. And then, the mighty climax-- the Barn Dance. From there the music proceeded more slowly until Finale -the installation of officers at the Mothers' Tea in May.

Tl1ere's a Long, Long TRAIL a Winding 'Twas the night of the Christmas mixer And all through the schoolhouse, Not a creature was stirring, Not even a mouse. LeRoy Pa Hughes stood watching with fright As Allen Santa Claus Wood filled stockings that night. The l948 Trail came into existence when the senior class voted to have a yearbook. Many people thought it was going to be easy, but they learned differently when they had to put in many hours Working on the Trail, 'l'l1e Trail staff was fortunate to have Miss Dolores Spence for a sponsor as she has had several years experience in serving as adviser for yearbook staffs. At the first meeting loAnn McDonald was elected editorfin-chief and the other staff members were appointed to various duties. The staff members Worked diligently from the beginning to the end of the year. The first big job was making a dummy, a general layout of the Whole book. The task of selling Trails was next, and this proved to be an easy one as most of the students Were as willing to buy Trails as the staff members were to sell them. Staying Within the budget proved to be one of the main problems. The high prices almost made the cost of the Trail prohibitive, but the staff members bustled about and worked out new Ways to make money. The last few Weeks in April were hectic ones as the staff proof read final copy from the printer. Everyone sighed with relief when the last article had been returned. Besides publishing the Trail, the staff spon- sored a free Christmas mixer and a snapshot contest for the benefit of the students. The '48 Trail staii listens intently as Editor-in-Chief IoAnn McDonald outlines the plans for the coming year. STANDING: Bill Lea, Francis Fisher, Erwin Kriesel, Miss Dolores Spence.
