The Future Homemakers' Association is one of the largest and most active organizations of girls in Crooksville High. There are four degrees of membership at present: The Little Women degree, the Fireside Circle degree. Future Homemakers of Crooksville High School degree, and Future Homemakers of Ohio degree. These are attained only after certain requirements have been met. This year our club is working for the Award of Merit, an honor conferred upon those clubs which, at the close of the school year, have met rather rigid requirements throughout the year. Last year our club received honorable mention. The F. H. A. girls were responsible for the refreshment stands at all the football and basketball games. This money was used to finance all social activities throughout the year, including the dance, one of the outstanding social affairs of the school year, and to finance some project for the home economics department. The Future Homemakers' Association attempts each year to benefit the school in some way. For use in the kitchen, it paid fifteen dollars on a new set of dishes which have Crux-Hi printed on them. Crooksville Future Homemakers' Association is a member of both the Ohio and the American Home Economic Associations. The honorary members of this club are: Miss Christine Gallo- way, Mrs. Mabel Hoops, Mrs. S. Howard Zollinger, Mrs. W. Dwight Darling, Miss Lucille Kepley, and Miss Bee Tedrow. F. H. A. Is!

SHORT SUBJECTS Who were those girls coming to school with their hair parted in the middle and no makeup? They were just the Junior girls being initiated into Ifka. Of course, on Wednesday evening, September 14, 1939, the girls enjoyed a trip to Hades. On their way they crossed the Jordan River (a tub of water with sticks in it), ate the devil’s eye (skinless grapes), shook hands with the devil (Lois Hull in devil’s suit), and several other exciting things. The following evening the girls were impressed by the formal candlelight ceremony. After the initiation the girls enjoyed dancing and refreshments. The name, Ifl{a, means friendship, the symbol of every Ifka girl. The purpose of the club is To find and give the best.” To show their readiness to serve the community, they donated money to the Dental Health Project, to the Christmas Tree Fund, and to the Red Cross. The all girl minstrel presented at the Washington Tea went off with a bang. The Interlocutor was Jo Leeth, and the comedy was supplied by Carol Hull, Eleanor Butler, Betty Jane Hearing, and Joyce Van Atta. At the end of the minstrel a patriotic pageant was presented. The characters were: George Washington, Jean Holcomb; Martha Washington, Laura Heath, and Rosabelle Shrewsberry carried the flag. Other social events were the Travel Party, Christmas party. Rag party and Theater party. Activities were concluded by the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet held at the Methodist Church March 28. Mrs. Wilma Wintrig-ham from Columbus, Ohio, spoke on the subject, “Garden of Memories.” Each year at this banquet a gift is given to the Ideal Ifka Girl who is voted upon by the club members. This year Violet Neff received this gift—a gold compact with “Ideal Ifka Girl” engraved on it. Twenty-six New Members Initiated Into Ifka Ifka Officers VIOLET NEFF, President BETTY ATER, Vice President GUINEVERE CONAWAY, Secretary CAROL HULL, T reasurer MISS DILLEHAY, Advisor Under Miss Kepley, the new advisor, the Junior Girl Reserves had an eventful year, chuck full of gayety. Miss Kepley replaced Miss Dil-lehay, who organized the club in 1938. The purpose of the club is to build a friendlier relationship between the Freshmen and Sophomore girls, who compose the organization. A masquerade dance seemed to start off the social activities. Lois Talbot carried away the prize for wearing the prettiest costume. It was not surprising to discover behind the masks Pearl Allen being dressed the funniest, and Helen Hull the most clever. Nothing was more suitable in the chilly month of November than a steaming hot chili supper. The girls never knew they could eat so much until they found the large kettle empty—and a few stomach aches resulted. In March, that memorable St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated with a party. Every one conformed to the tradition by wearing green and were admitted only if they had a straight pin. They visited the Lakes of McClerney, but those who stepped in the lakes could not continue the journey. When everyone returned home and received their supper by singing as Old King Cole” did, the evening was complete and long remembered. lunior Girl Reserves Have A Gay Year Officers JEAN BROWN, President BONNIE LUSTER, Vice President DELORES CORBETT, Secretary MILDRED ALDRIGE, T reasurer MISS KEPLEY, Advisor
