Thev’re Learning To Live J During the Summer vacation, the Brimfield F.H.A. started its activities for 1953-54. Monthly meetings were held at Jubilee Park. Canton, and Kcwanee. These were well attended and combined business with pleasure. In August, the F.H.A. had a refreshment stand at the Annual Old Settlers Picnic. All of the members worked to make this a successful undertaking. Early in the Fall, the chapter sent delegates to the Mouse of Delegates Meeting at Elmwood. Those attending were: Karen Mulvaney. Mary Reed. Nancee Heinz. Jo Ann Nauman. and Gayle Meehan. They were accompanied by the advisor. Bernalea McDonald, and the chapter mother. Mrs. John R. Powers. The annual F.F.A. and F.H.A. wiener roast was held at Bart Nelson’s farm. Also during the early part of the school year, the F.H.A. Freshmen were informally initiated, and the Senior girls accompanied by Bernalea McDonald and Shirley Culbertson, spent an enjoyable weekend in St. Louis. A new profit making project was a cookie sale. The girls took orders for cookies, baked them, and delivered mem. Holiday activities included a Christmas party, at which gifts were exchanged by the members, and one night was aevoted to Christmas caroling . In order to start the New Year right, a Sock Dance was held after a basketball game in January. Something new and different was the Daddy Date Night and Chilli Supper which was held in February. Tne F.H.A. girls brought their fathers as dates. The evening proved to be very entertaining. On February 24, the Glasford F.F.A.-F.H.A. invited the Brimfield F.F.A.-F.H.A. to a party there. These parties are known as Exchange Parties. Next year the Brimfield Cnapter plans to invite them here for a return party. The annual F.F.A.-F.H.A. Potluck Supper was held March 1G. The Freshmen girls were formally initiated at that time. Skits were also given by the Home Ec. and Ag classes. About sixty per cent of the F.H.A. members attended the Spring Rally. It was held at Cuba this year. April 15 was a bright spot on the calendar for the children of the community. An Easter Egg Hunt seemed to appeal to the children. May marked the close of this year, but it was a grand conclusion. The Style Show was given by the Home Ec. girls, and following that the new officers were installed. Later in May a Galloping Breakfast was held. This means, that the members picked up people of the community and brought them to a prepared breakfast. If they didn’t come, they were to pay a penalty. It was amusing as well as profit making.
