Under the leadership of their officers and their sponsor, Mr. Tom Morgan, the club members planned several exciting field trips, among these an overnight trip to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Assuming a great responsibility, this group undertook the presentation of the Decatur High School Science Fair as its major project of the year.

A lecture on Christmas Around the World was given by a representative from the Georgia Pow- er Company in December. To make money to purchase equipment for the new home- making department, the club members sold vanilla flavoring, and they gave a Tupper- ware party in order to supply the depart- ment with Tupperware. In March several members attended a district F.H.A. meet- ing held at Wheeler High School in Cobb County. During national F.H.A. week, April, 15-17, members carried out projects to serve the school and their families. Members of the Decatur chapter also participated in the state F.H.A. convention.
