Getting in the spirit of Christmas, Jahlena Fulton and Linda Pot- chen help to spread cheer to those less fortunate by packing Christmas baskets. Helping one and all and learning while they’re busy, are the members of the Homemaking Club. Each year the girls have many varied activities, beginning with their initiation for the club’s mem- bers and ending with their spring luncheon, where good-byes are said to the senior members. And dur- ing the year there are taffy apple and pennant-pin sales. The profits from these sales go towards their annual Christmas cheer baskets, which are given to needy families, and the yearly trip taken by the club. Yvonne Webster led the senior “chipmunks,” Carol Stevens, Bar- bara Casassa and Sara Schneider in a Christmas tune, especially designed for Santa, Linda Wright, while an over-excited young- ster, Donna Wilson, made sure she was going to get what she wanted for the holidays. This was one of the skits given at the club’s initiation. Homemaking, F.H.A. Barbara Loomis formally inducts Sharon Huddlestun into the Homemaking Club by pinning the initiates’ ribbon on her. Jahlena Fulton, president of the club, leads the organization in prayer before being served at the initiation. Seated at the same table are Marcia Hunt, secretary, Jewell Gambill, vice- president, Barbara Loomis, treasurer, and Sara Schneider, historian.

Spirit ” In 1961-62 Props are important in any play. Carolyn Patterson checks the crystal ball for a scene in “Blithe Spirit”. Solemnly and very thoughtfully Gloria Webster watches as Marie Sankowski, Karen Howell and Mary Ann Mikalowsky tediously alter her costume for her part in “The Heiress . Officiating in their respective capacity are officers: Laura Lud- wig, secretary; George Carl, president; and Roger Toczek, vice- president. “Blocking” a play and re- membering where to go and when during a play is im- portant to any thespian. Here a scene is being re- hearsed from “The Heiress”, the “Players” second pro- duction. - 25 -

Lead Girls To A Better, Brighter Future Responsible for carrying on the activities of the club are Carol Wyrick, historian; Cheryl Harms, reporter; Peggy Kennedy, song leader; Rosie Frankhauser, vice-president; Betty Mead, honor chapter chairman; Judy Warren, parliamentarian; Donna Stas- sin, president; and Julie Kalinowicz, treasurer. Some of the girls of Calumet will be the home- makers of tomorow, and they learn the full extent of their duties in Future Homemakers of America. Members participate in different activities, and help in charity work. To be an honor chapter is the goal of these homemakers. In order to a- chieve this, the club must perform a certain num- ber of activities. Some of these include charity work and supporting a needy child. Dues are $1.25 per year, and any girl is eligi- ble if she has average grades and is of sophomore class standing. Suzann Carden looks over the F.H.A. emblem and creed. All mem- bers are to recite the creed at the beginning of each meeting. - 27 -
