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.

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.
