Ski FHA Club Sixty-four students make up the Future Homemakers of America Club. To introduce members to the club, two engagements were sponsored; the first was the Ban- nana Boat Bash, established to re- cruit new members. The second, was the Candle Lighting. This event was held to install new offi- cers and members. Each month the club held an FHA Day, in which guest speakers came and talked on subjects like promotion, jewelry and cookbook fundraisers; other topics were the ZCMI tablesetting contest, profi- ciency event demonstrations, and rehearsal for state conventions. The club also held activities includ- ing a rollerskating party, and a spring picnic. One of the biggest dances of the year. Sweethearts Ball, was sponsored by the FHA. The club attended the Regional Convention, State Leadership Conference, Regional Leadership Conference, and the State Con- vention at BYU. For these hap- penings students competed in pro- ficiency events in all aspects of ho- memaking such as decision mak- ing, child care demonstrations, “Shelli Clark ... was Utah’s nominee for national office.” clothing construction skills, interi- or design displays, food prepara- tion, and illustrated talks. Shelli Clark, a state officer of FHA,was Utah’s nominee for na- tional office. She attended the Na- tional Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, in the summer of 1980. Aside from homemaking, the FHA sponsored a service project. For a fund raiser the club sold tur- key feathers to the home ec. classes for twenty-five cents apiece. This raised enough money for two families to enjoy a Thanks- giving turkey dinner. Ice! Rocks! But, when ski club kicked off, January 7, there was also plenty of warm sunshine. Also, a new advisor, Mr. Clay- baugh, took over the reigns of the over 260 member club. For only $45, students were excused from school after third hour, six differ- ent days to ride buses up to Snow- bird to enjoy a full day of skiing the various lifts and the tram. Most who joined, stated that this was probably the best deal one could get for skiing, because up at “the Bird” it would usually cost $16 a day. Also included in the deal was an end-of-the-year banquet rekin- dling memories of past ski trips. It was a club ski buffs, hotdog- “ ... great exercise, fun, and invigorating ... bruises, cramps, aching muscles ... and sprains.” gers, and beginners could enjoy together. Skiing was great exer- cise, fun, and invigorating. Howev- er, at the end of skiing days many attained injuries: bruises, cramps, aching muscles, joints, and sprains. Student advisors working under Mr. Claybaugh each trip were as- signed to buses, and checked stu- dents on and off the buses. Many seventh period meetings were held to discuss future ideas and plans. Also each week various teachers would come along each trip and help Mr. Claybaugh and the student advisors. Often seen were many students who did not belong to the ski club but would come up on their own and blend in with the ski club crowd. There were even a few who would sell their passes and hop on a transit bus to Alta, just up the road. At the beginning season, snow was of lacking, and the club can- celled one trip, but more snow came to Utah and skiing was plen- tiful and more powder fell to in- crease the season’s previous 40 inches to well over 70 inches.
