Future Homemakers of America Facts and fun mixed with foods The homemaker of today is not all work and no play, as proved by the Future Homemakers of America in BHS as they combined social events with learning. For example, a computer dance was sponsored by FHA in which the entire student body participated. Daddy Date Night and a program presented by Nancy Koons on her European travels were other social highlights. In more serious projects, the or- ganization found the meaning of Christ- mas by collecting and sending gifts to the state mental hospital. The FHA of Southern Wells and the BHS chapter combined their forces on occasion this past year. In the fall they traveled to the district FHA convention at Dekalb High School. Later in the year the Blackford chapter invited Southern Wells FHA ' ers to a program on the Wandering Wheels.
