FHA theme honored Senior Citizens Reach Out and Touch Senior Citi- zens was the theme of the Future Home- makers of America Club. The Homemak- ers adopted grandparents from nursing homes. During Christmas members went door to door of the elderly and sang songs of the Yuletide season. A Halloween party was held and new members were initiated. Knightstown was the location of a field trip in which members visited an orphan- age and viewed how it was operated. The big event of the year was the 1979 State Leadership Conference in April. The motto of the FHA was Dare to Be. At the conference several awards were cap- tured — the Honor Chapter Award and the Proficiency Event Award in the bronze division. Also, outstanding people were named, who included Penny Robinson, State Officer; Lynann Carens, Voting Del- egate; FHA Heroes: Niki Clark, Katrina Atkinson, Karin Randall, Kathleen Atkin- son, Debbie Adkins, Karen Pierson, Nar- lynn Dempsey, Mrs. Carolyn Dempsey, and Mrs. Pat Bowdell, advisor. FHA Homemakers dared to reach out and touch in ' 79. Nora Paulson, resident of the Extended Care Unit, receives a Valen- tine cake from Deanna Brown, her adopted FHA granddaughter.

NHS added 23 members by candlelight Scholarship, character, leadership, and service — these are the four qualifications required to become a member of the Na- tional Honor Society. New members were chosen by teachers from a list provided. Each teacher filled out survey sheets on eligible students. A committee then tabulated the results, and the final selections were made. NHS initiated 23 new members at their annual initiation ceremony. Using the McDonald ' s theme, You! You ' re the one, Dr. Joseph Burnworth, Taylor Uni- versity, spoke to NHS members, initiates, and parents as well. NHS was active in one annual project, the Abraxas, a booklet of prose and poetry written by students. The Honor Society backed the publication financially as well as spending time on the completion of the literary magazine themselves. The organization operated under the colors of blue and gold, adhering to the motto, Noblesse Oblige (meaning the obligation of honorable, generous, and re- sponsible behavior associated with high rank on birth ), and featured the yellow rose as their official Hewer. Congratulations with a smile and a kiss are in store for National Honor Society initiate Res3 Boxell from her mother, Mrs. Penny Boxell. Scholarships, one of the qualifications needed to get into Honor Society, is outlined to .he inituiles by Brian West, president, during the formal ceremony.

He also taught Agriculture. The club also competed in area judging contests following a four-year lapse. They had a judging team with four members, one in livestock and others in the 4-H Fair. The club held a spring banquet in April and took field trips to various area farms. They scheduled a tent at the fair in Au- gust. FFA officers planned to attend the na- tional FFA convention at Kansas City in November. The greenhouse was to be- come available for planting items as well as other agriculture-related projects.
