Group Linked upl' FHA reached new horizons The Future Homemakers of America QFHAJ practiced their motto 'Reach for New Horizons' and received the national Link-Up award at the state convention for sig- nificantly increasing their member- ship. FHA Advisor Jeanne Larsen said, Our membership increased from 13 to 21 and there were only a few chapters that qualified for the award, we'll even be recognized at the national convention in Florida this summer. FHA had many kinds of gather- ings like class and club meetings, four district conferences and the state convention. At state they voted for state and district officers and presented homemaking research pa- pers called reach projects. Judges scored the reach contestants and Jeanine Harrison received an excel- lent rating plus a top superior medal, the highest honor. She said, I am glad I got to go to state, and I think a lot of people could benefit if they went out for FHA. Members had a busy calendar that included joint activities with their parents, the football concession stand, a Christmas party for a kin- dergarten class, a Valentine cookie sale, planning a dance with the FFA, a cake walk at the vocational fair and a spring banquet. FHA officers were President An- drea Chastain, Vice President Lisa Brunow, Secretary Stephanie Webb and Historian Jeanine Harrison. Chastain said, It was kind of hard being president of FHA because it comes second to any other organiza- tion the girls may be in. Because of this matter we did not have very many meetings, and the ones we did have, we just planned and asked them to come. Vicki Anson said, This year was very interesting. It was more fun than work. It takes some time but not much. Michelle Ryan liked FHA be- cause she had a chance to work with others and to help them out. She said, It was really enjoyable. It was a real learning experience for me. I hope to be in it again next year, but be more involved in the activities, stated LeAnn Choate. Delynda Peavler summarized, In FHA we learned a lot about our- selves. We made a lot of friends and learned about other people. State Convention FHA members displayed their certificates of merit from the state convention. Pictured were Yvonne Silva, Michelle MacKenzie, E Jeanine Harrison, DeLynda Peavler, LeAnn f- Choate, Lisa Brunow and Vicki Anson. FHA 43

FFA banquet program instructions were given by Advisor Rex Hamner to Lori Jensen, Gerri Yates, Lisa Jensen and Kellee Eyre. Using the Agri Data Computer System, Advi- sor Rex Hamner obtained current informa- tion. l si 3, ' . A ' l et A L. 1 ,ui I ni FFA started farm Chapter learned Rex Hamner took over the reins of the Future Farmers of America CFFAJ program and helped the group plan several scholastic and fun events. A highlight was the dairy judging team placing fourth out of 50 teams at Laramie in the state con- tests. The FFA practiced for other judg- ing contests including livestock, meats, crops and farm mechanics. You have to qualify to go judge. You look at a group of animals and pick them from best to worst and give reasons why, said Chris Mor- gan. b doing The chapter served the communi- ty by putting up three welcome signs and presented the school with a Christmas tree which they got on a snowmobile outing in the Uintas. The group also sponsored a dance and contests at school like cow-chip throwing and tractor driving. In the fall the schoolboard granted the FFA permission to use 35 acres on the campus for a school farm. They had to wait for the snow to melt, but started building in May. The FFA farm will allow the stu- dents to practice their motto of Learning by Doing. and Todd Covolo.
