- FF-5-AND FHA - - :- Green Thumbs And Sparkling Kitchens As hometraining is the basis one's character, farming is the backbone of our nation. People experienced in either field, better the productivity of our country. Future Homemakers of America CFHAJ and Future Farmers of America QFFAJ are two clubs that provide expe- rience in domestic fields. FFA has dedi- cated itself to the development of quali- ties that will make its members more prolific citizens. Members received a chance to gain experience in volunteer work for the community when they aid- ed a needy family. They provided them with canned goods and grocery items during the Christmas season. FFA also discovered ways to prevent the environ- ment from being harmed by taking a safety program with instruction on the safe use of pesticides. The members ob- tained various opportunities to test the skills they had acquired by participat- ing in competitions such as dairy judg- ing, parliamentary procedure, public speaking, and hunter safety. Members additionally partook in a radio broad- cast in recognition of National Voca- tional Education Week. The Future Homemakers of America found sundry ways to develop their tal- ents in homemaking. In October, FHA went to the FHA Leadership Region IV workshop at Pembroke State Universi- ty. There they swapped ideas with other FHA members from around the state. FHA helped make the Miss Pine Forest pageant a reality by being one of its co- sponsors. While April flowers bloomed, FHA went to the State Leadership Meeting which was held in Raleigh. The finale for the FHA's calendar of events was the annual May picnic. There members got a chance to look back on what had been done and learned and to then reflect on what was to come. 14 clubs in 'wa-my 7. , W av -Q I aw 1 .r y. unmnagq 'sw fl H A rawswm

DECA AND HOSA - -' ciUBs HELP COMMUNITY i ' '- It was a brand new year for the Health Occupation Students of Ameri- ca. With a new sponsor and the major- ity ofthe members having departed the previous year, it was really a fresh start. After being elected, the new members went to a regional meeting. President Andrea White was elected regional sec- retary. Members participated in giving health screenings to every student at Pine Forest early in the year. Some members went on to volunteer at the Veteran's Adminisration QVAJ Medical Center. They also helped needy families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season. HOSA raised money by selling candy in March and April. They also orga- nized a Blood Drive at the school. Many of the members competed in the regional competition in early March. Michelle Bethoulle, the HOSA re- porter, said of this year's club, It's been great! By getting involved in new health experiences and helping others, they have risen to new heights. DECA has also had a hand in aiding the community. For Thanksgiving and Christmas they adopted a needy family. They doled out food, clothing, pots, and pans to the family to fulfill their holiday season. DECA attended the District Conference at Seventy-First Senior High School, placing well in the final standings. As the new year of 1988 be- gan to unfurl, DECA found itself in the exciting whirl of National DECA Week CFebruary 7-135. Activities were planned for the members as well as the members planning for others, such as a breakfast prepared by DECA for the faculty. The climax of the DECA cal- endar was the State Conference in Charlotte. Here the members spent sev- eral days in North Carolina's largest city with other DECA members from all over the state.
