The F. H, A. is an organization for girls interested in the study of first aid, health, nutrition, interior decorating, and clothing. There are 41 girls in the club who have studied Home Economics in the past or are now enrolled in a course of homemaking. We enjoyed a successful year under the guidance of Miss Ochs, who has been our adviser for two years. The officers of the club are: Ioan Blaase, president, Bettyjane Hansen, vicevpresidentg Phyllis Von Lanken, secretary, and Lerae Galbreath, treasurer, The club has been very active this year. One of the first things was the initiation of the freshmen girls. One of the several pot luck suppers that we had was the Christmas party, Where we played games, exchanged gifts, and afterwards went to the ball game. The club earned some extra money by serving at the band clinic. The F. F. A. boys and the F. H, A. girls had lots of fun and work putting on a play. The club has adopted the official F. H. A. pin. Some of the girls have already received their pins. One can readily see that the F. H. A. is one of the busiest organizations and some day these Future Homemakers will discard the future and become the Hornemalcers of America. 44352

The annual pest contest started September 26, l945, and closed April l5, 1946, A large number of pests were destroyed and the Winning side was treated by the losers. The Father and Son banquet is an annual affair and was held this spring. The Home Economics girls served the food. A program followed. The FFA. had a float which brought considerable attention in the hornee coming parade. The boys carried signs telling about the game and made a line going straight to the game. The F.F.A. has helped keep the school yard clean which has improved its appearance. When school is out the FFA. boys will receive more knowledge by going to work on the farms of our community. 44342
