Members Diversified Occupations members combined classroom instruction with on-the-job training to earn money while learning a trade. Since these students worked part of each day and were not able to participate in many school functions, the club provided a school-oriented activity. Considerable time was spent in surveying job opportunities in Sumter and investigating the possibilities of advancements in the different trades. Two of the unusual jobs held by D.O. members were making concrete bird- baths and serving as an aide in a figure salon. Organizations T21

FHA Members Devote Time And Energies To Community Projects The Spirit of Christmas prevailed when Future Homemakers delivered goodies and groceries to residents of Community Nursing Home and Soloman's Nursing Home. The girls prepared enough food for a Christ- mas Party. Members spent many late after- noon hours during the fall months collecting clothing for the Red Cross. The underprivileged citizens in the area benefited from this community service project. Moans of anguish and cracking of joints gradually dimished as Council Street members loosened their muscles during weekly exercise programs. Using Explore Roles Extend Goals as their major theme, mem- bers observed National FHA week, April T-7.
