The 1967-68 objective of the Crewe Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America was ‘Making Your Money Behave.” This goal was emphasized through programs showing how young people can best use their money. Mr. Doyle, economics teacher, gave the girls an informative talk on “Teenage Consumers.” The red rose, the FHA’s flower, represents the search of Future Homemakers for beauty in every day living. Red and white, the FHA’s colors, symbolize strength and sincerity. These colors were worn by the officers at each monthly meeting in the form of red jumpers and white blouses with the FHA emblems on the left shoulder. FHA had as its goal “to produce enthusiasm to help individuals improve family and community liv- ing.” Activities during the year began with open house in December, which gave students an opportunity to contribute to the work of the county’s welfare pro- Your Money Behave’ gram. The Daddy Date Night was held in February to give daughters a chance to entertain their fathers. At the Mother-Daughter Reception in May, FHA degrees and officers’ projects were presented, and new officers were installed. For the mothers’ entertain- ment, the girls modeled clothes made in Home Eco- nomics classes. Money making projects in the chapter were bake sales and the sale of cookbooks. This year the FHA also gave a Christmas Dance for members of the Community Center. These projects emphasized the goal “Making Money Behave” by giving each girl an opportunity to learn salesmanship and the responsi- bilities for an organization’s income. The Crewe FHA Chapter was honored to have two girls serve the Longwood Federation of FHA as officers this year——Betsy Clay as Federation President and Madelene Leath as Historian-Reporter.

During the January meeting, Betas pre- pare to vote on ideas for the Valentine skit. Beta members unpack decora- tions to be used for the Valen- tine program. Beta officers are Ellen Shell, President; C. T. Hill, Vice-President; Bowlin, Secretary; and Rhonda Pennington, Treasurer. Honesty and leadership head the ideals promoted by the Beta Club. New members were selected not only on these qualifications but also by maintaining a grade average of “B” throughout the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. Those chosen were tapped into the club in an open assembly held in March. Once again the Beta Club planned and presented the Valentine program for both the elementary grades and high school. Highlighting the year was the Beta Convention held at the Hotel Roanoke in March where members became acquainted with the work of the state and national Beta Clubs. Special recognition was brought to CHS’s Beta Club by Doris Toney who won first place for a poem she submitted to the National Beta Journal. A new project was mailing boxes of hose to Viet- nam for use in hospitals there. Betas exemplify leadership and achievement FRONT ROW: Ellen Shell, President; C. T.
