FHA Makes Gifts for Hospitals Bake sales, a Christmas party, an annual banquet, and gifts to area hospitals were just a few of the many activities of the Edison Future Homemakers of America. The Betty Crocker award last year was awarded to Karen Smith, senior. She and all senior girls in Home Economics IV were given the national test. Karen was the highest scorer at Edison. For the Christmas party December 15 in the cafeteria, the 75 member FHA made all the refreshments and decorations. The annual Mother-Daughter banquet was held in May. FHA also held a picnic in May at Edison Park in Milan. Members prepared all food and refreshments served at these activi- ties. FHA extended its activities to the com- munities by making stuffed animals and giving them as gifts to the young patients in area hospitals during Christmas season. Homemade cookies and candy were also given to the children at the Wright Home in Berlin Heights.
