Future Homemakers of America strive to meet their theme: “To be a better me.” 1 o Be a Better Me” was the FHA’s emphasis at Suffolk High School for the year of 1974-75. The members of this organization under the guidance of Mrs. Taylor sought “to be a better me” by developing their creativity through needlework, improving personality and appearance, and using personality and appearance while searching for jobs. A banquet held by the FHA honoring the girl’s basketball team was financed by bake sales, as were their other projects. Through their projects, the FHA endeavored to fulfill the over-all goal of the organization to improve personal, family and community living. Pres. Jones, First V.P. Barnes. Second V.P. Ashburn, Sec.

Honor Society lives again! fter their past few years of near dormancy, the National Honor Society has once again become an active part of the school under the advisory of Mrs. Trump. The Society’s induction ceremony was held before the student body in November. The Reverend Mr. Gravitt was guest speaker. Parents of those inducted were invited as honorary guests and more than expected attended. For those basketball fans who didn’t want their cheering hampered by coats, the Honor Society operated a cloak room, for ten cents all coats were kept safe and out of the way. The money made from the cloakroom went into a schol¬ arship fund awarded at the end of the year. The Honor Society also mailed out Honor Roll announcement cards to the parents of those students who made the Honor Roll. For those who didn’t make it the Honor Society offered a tutoring service. 15
