Future Homemakers of America Our first home economics club was organized in 1943 with fourteen pupils The next year in 1944 our membership increased to eighteen: in 1945 we had fif teen membersg in 1946 eighteen: in 1947. twenty-four: in 1948, nineteen, and in 1949, we had twenty-one members. F. H. A. officers elected in 1949 were: Bonnie Unger, President: Helen Disbennett, Vice-President: Marilyn Unger, Secretary: Charlotte Brown, Treas- urer: Betty Shaw, News Reporter, and Ethel Shaw, Club Mother. We wish to express our appreciation to the Benton Scenic Board of Edu- cation ior providing us with one of the finest home economics department in southern Ohio. Each year our club has purchased a piece of equipment for the department. As a result we have bought sewing machines, steam iron, drapes, two canister sets, and much needed small equipment. Our goal in 1949 was a triple mirror which we purchased by selling flavorings and by collecting sales tax stamps. Each year since 1944 we have completed a project for the Red Cross or for a needy family in the community. Our project last year was making a scrap book for the mentally ill patients in the Veteran's Hospital at Chillicothe. Since 1945 we have placed an exhibit at the Hocking County Fair, which is held annually. We won some of the prizes each time too. Last year our win- ners were: Vyonne Amerine, Norma Warehime, and Bonnie Unger. Other annual activities included: The preparation and serving dinner to Benton's basketball teams, cheerleaders, managers, and coach: Christmas or Valentine Party for the Junior and Senior high school people.
