I FM BteiitStomS With New ideas FHA has many new members this year which was encouraging. This helped in finding workers for the football concession stands, which is the annual moneymaking project. A lot of girls found this their most pleasant memory of FHA while several especially enjoyed the trip to the Redwoods where girls treated their moth- ers to a night out. Usually, the FHA puts on a Valentines dance, but this year February was filled with other activities and there was no time available for the dance. There was a new and different kind of presentation given to the FHA girls this year. Speakers from Carroll's Outreach Center came to a club meeting and spoke on teenage pregnancy. V.D. and birth control. Mrs. Haaf. advisor, commented. I think the social workers giving a talk was differ- ent than other years. This will introduce sex related problems to the girls, which some of them may find helpful. The girls worked hard and are considering purchasing some equipment for the home ec. department or taking a field trip to the city to see a style show. Sue Schroeter. president, com- mented. I think we've progressed from the previous years I have been a member, but I'm sure some girls would like to see even more projects next year. I.)

Ifolds yeosi ckctl Student Council was a chance for me to see how school government can help or hinder the student body, senior Tami Petersen said. Tami. was elected president of the student council for the 1978-79 school year. Two other members from each class also represented the Student Council. They planned and spon- sored many activities and discussed various problems of the school. Everyone agreed that one of the most memorable moments was decorating for homecoming. They also enjoyed decorat- ing the Christmas tree and preparing Santa's speech. The student council paid for the assemblies and homecom- ing. The Christmas movie The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pitman was also furnished by the student council. Junior. Dawn Kitelinger summarized. I had a lot of fun in student council and I felt it was very worthwhile. I). Cindy Kilworth. a senior student council member, relaxes and inspects the progress of the tree decoraters. 2). 1st.
