Book fairs and movies were also used as fund raisers while contributing to the pleasure and educa- tion of students. Assisting Mrs. Betsy Newberry, the members helped to maintain an efficient library for facul- ty and students. The Ninety-eight member Bland Chapter Future Farm- ers were led through citrus sales and fairground work by Mr. William Crabtree.
