Arts and Crafts was organized again this year by Mr. Siedschlaw. Each Monday evening for an hour and a half, students brought in their own projects and worked on them. Besides having a real good time, many fantastic projects were put out of the shop on Monday nights. In the shop, the kids had two turning lathes, several kinds of saws and drills, and sanding machinery to work with. Available for everyone's use were tooling kits, stain- ing equipment, clamps for gluing projects and all of the tools necessary for most projects. Some of the big projects taken on were: refinishing and upholstering chairs, lamps out of plexi-glass or wood, repainting a horse buggy, and making a carved chess set and combination chess board-carrying case. All of these projects were exhibited at the Annual Spring Concert in April where all of the parents and friends could view the work of the young people.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA A very highly successful Soup Supper highlighted the year for the Future Homemakers of America. With a membership of 48, the girls spent an entire day preparing for and serving 230 people on February 16, 1974. The chapter mothers, Mrs. Janssen, Mrs. Hegerfeld, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Paulson, and Mrs. Stein, helped with a good deal of the work. A Teen Center was another big project. At the be- ginning of the year, the FHA rented a building in down- town Elkton and opened a Teen Center. Kids used the center as a spot for relaxation after ballgames. It was self-run by the FHA girls and closed in March until next year. Throughout the year, FHA sent girls to the state and regional meetings and sponsored the Adopted Grand- mothers. They went to the Little International in March, to a roller skating party, hosted by the FFA boys, in April and presented the annual Spring Style Show in May with Brookings stores providing clothes for both guys and girls to model.
