It was a late afternoon of a beautiful September day. The sun was going down beyond the horizon when lo, what did we see as we were passing Hawkeye Park? Grouped about a bright fire were the girls of the F. H. A., faces aglow, as they roasted weiners on long sticks. Miss Trickett and Miss Strickler, looking much like school girls in their sports attire, were enjoying the fun with the rest of the girls. This was the opening event of the year for the F. H. A. On December third the girls held a special meeting celebrating the birthday of Ellen H. Richards. They presented a playlet The Life of Ellen H. Richards to acquaint the new members with the life work of the founder of Home Economics. Later in December when visions of St. Nicholas filled the minds of everyone, the club had a Christmas party. Merry carols filled the Vocational Building as sixty-nine voices joined in happy chorus. In January Miss Strickler visited the State Farm Show at Harris- burg and saw the exhibits. The other activities of the year included a St. Patrick's Day party and a Mother-Daughter Tea for the mothers of Senior Home Economics girls. Also the oH'icers were permitted to attend the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Home Economics Association held in Pittsburgh in May. The Future Farmers of America is not only a local but also a state and national club. At East Huntingdon it has been steadily pro- gressing under the able leadership of Mr. Sebold. Any boy wishing to join this organization must have a favorable average in agriculture and must secure a majority vote of the active membership. Last summer the boys had an enjoyable time while camping at the Boy Scout camp on Deep Creek Lake near Oakland, Maryland. When fall arrived they organized a basketball team to compete with the surrounding F. F. A. teams. The club was well represented at the state Farm Show held at Harrisburg in January. During the second week of February the boys attended the twelfth annual Farmers' Institute in Mount Pleasant which they found most interesting. The judging team showed its knowledge of livestock at the county judging contest. Hoping to cap- ture a prize at the state project book contest, some of the farm-mind- ed boys are working on fine projects that will be completed this sum- mer. In order to raise money for its activities the club sold pop and hot dogs at the football games, and later in the year, paper savers and seeds. During the last few weeks of school the future farmers prac- tised diligently for the mushball season ahead of them. 27
