Santa makes an unexpected visit in the person of Brian Lightle at an FHA Yule party held for children related to members. A talent for clowning is exhibited by FHA Presi- dent Karen Clamme, costumed for the organiza- tion ' s annual Halloween party. fHAers thrived pp on helping others ► ' Future Homemakers answered yes to their FHA Week motto, Can you measure up? by pleasing others. They cheered the kids at the Knights- town Orphanage at Christmas, sold heart-shaped cookies for school Val- entines, and gave the teachers brown- ies for brownie points. Speakers were common, as Police Capt. Dick FHamilton, who spoke on prevention of rape. Representing FHA, co-sponsor Mrs. Mary Knote, who planned to retire herself this year, honored a retired for- mer sponsor, Mrs. Ghlee Kershner. Lori Ladd was named a state officer of the organization in a spring election held in Indianapolis. Earlier Penny Rob- inson was elected president of a new FHA district.

Fruit and syrup mixed for FFA The sweet and sour were combined by Future Farmers of America when they selected as major projects the rais- ing and selling of sorghum and the sell- ing of grapefruit. Over 60 gallons of sorghum were produced at a profit in a seed-to-sales project which began with plowing a field across from, the school in the spring and ended with harvesting, pro- cessing and selling in the fall. Texas grapefruit and oranges kvere sold in the spring for the third year, keeping members busy delivering or- ders of the citrus. FFA sponsor Mr. Lewis Vaughan planned a joint club leadership confer- ence which brought many area club of- ficers to BHS for a night. Six FFA-ers and their sponsor left the state for a week in Kansas City, to at- tend the national FFA convention in November.
