Bought a tRActoR Por OepARtment. Future Farmers of America gave East’s vocational agriculture students many oppor¬ tunities to learn and to serve. Projects for the year included helping to construct a greenhouse addition to the voca¬ tional building. Funds from a sale of candy to the community went into the purchase of a tractor for use in future projects. Members of the group took part in var¬ ious activities to advance in their rating. Parliamentary procedure drills, county fair displays, and special home projects kept all members well-occupied throughout the year. Wyatt Needham demonstrated modern building techniques with the help of a scale model of the structure. Future Farmers learned that farming in this modem age demands that the farmer be familiar with machinery and techniques unknown to their grandfathers, especially in building.

f.h.A. woRked fOR mCwidiul Phyllis Bullington reigned over Christmas Dance festivities as 1967 Christmas Queen. Mrs. Mildred Watson and Mrs. Arlene Patterson advised FHA, setting good examples for girls to follow. Future Homemakers of America has long been one of East’s most dynamic groups, and 1967—68 was no exception. This group accepted as a member any home economics student interested in improving her individual relationship to family, community, and group through good homemaking and wholesome recreation. To reach the high goals they set for themselves, the Future Homemakers held talent and fashion shows and panels on careers, good family relations, leisure time, and morals. Their service activi¬ ties, carried out without fanfare, included preparing fruit baskets for senior citizens, operating concession stands at ball games, and money making projects to pay for East Surry’s intercom system. Our Future Homemakers and their sponsors represented us well at the annual district rally in Greensboro and at the state convention in Raleigh. They have proved themselves assets to school and community. Hilda Mabe, treasurer; Vivian Reddick, secretary; Sue Stone, chaplain; Gail Mills, president; Judy Simmons, parliamentarian; 26 Charlotte Cox, reporter; Phyllis Love, historian; and Pat Hunter, song leader.
