A weiner roast and hike was our gay event in September along with the Section 8 Officer's Training School Bt Quincy Senior High. Then an interesting and jolly Family Night in October and a profitable chili supper in November. Janet Akers, Rose Mary Corse, Karen Henson, Sandra Hichman, and Judy Post were the new members who were fornelly initiated into F.H.A. in late January. In February we had an 'after-game dance' which was one of our many money raising schemes. From the first of Feb- ruary To Valentine's Day we had our annual Heart Sister event which turned out to be very excit- ing. The topic of Civil Defense was dlcoussed during a radio program over WCAZ on February 21. More money was added to our treasury after the successful bake sale in early March and later on during the windy month we journeyed to Pittsfield for the annual Spring Rally which was a lot of fun and very educational. F.H.A. Week was celebrated from April 7-13 with the annual Mother and Daughter Tea providing the high point of the week. F.H.A. closed out this year with the formal installation of next year's officers. Thi' 1' FHM Scandal in the making- Bend it, but don't break iz.
