To be eligible for membership a student must be taking a home economics course or have com- pleted a semester of it. One of the main purposes of the F. H- A. is to further the interest in home economics which is accomplished by carrying out projects throughout the year and working on degrees. The degrees are Junior, Chapter, State, and National. When the girls complete their degrees they receive pins of gold or silver to wear. H. A. M X... v V Second row: fleft to rightj C.Swanlund, R. Lyons, C. Del- zeit, I. McKinney, M. Henry R.

Toward New Horizons is the motto and expresses the feeling and purpose of the organization, for its aim is to improve and to better our school in the years to come. This year the girls participated in the World Christmas Festival, National F, H, A, Week, State Conference and the District Conference.
