In l9L5 an organization, sponsored by the State and National Home Economis Associations and the State and Federal Departments of Education was formed. Representatives met in regions to make plans for this organization. These repre- sentatives from all parts of America met in Chicago. They chose as the name, THE FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICAg the red rose as their flowerg and red and white for their colors. These colors express youth. Red has long been the sym- bol for courageg white, the symbol of purity. They adopted an emblem which is octagonal in shape. We have a constitution by which we abide and eight purposes or goals for which we strive to make home and communiu'1ife happier. F.H.A. was organized at Forman in 1950 under the direction of Mrs. Joan Som- mer. This year our sponsors have been Mrs. James Eckman and Mrs. Leonard Hewitt.

At our first meeting thi fall we elected Mrs. Elizabeth Foste as our Chapter Mother. She attends our meetings and helps us plan and carry out our activities. At Thanksgiving we gave a large basket of groceries to a needy family in this area. In November, we celebrated National F.H.A. Week. We had a project for every day of the week and on Sunday we attended the Manito Methodist Church. We sent two dozen red roses and presented rose corsa es to Mrs. Eckman and Mrs. Foste. In May we had a style show and formal installation of the new officers. WHITE IH LEMENT CO. Oliver Farm Equipment Massey Harris Phone Sh Sales 8 Service Forest City, Illinois-RFD f 1

The officers are Fred Heyl, Presidentg Marvin Quick, vice-president Q Ross Kreiling, secretary, Don Meyer, treasurerg Fred Friedrich, reporter, Wayne Knaak sentinel, John Schimmelpfenning, historian. The latter part of July and early August of 1951 saw some of the members at the project show at the Lewiston Fair Grounds. Our F.F.A. boys did well by bringing home a large number of ribbons. Some of the F.F.A. boys attended the Leadership Camp at Epworth Camp grounds at Lewiston in August 1951. This is a camp composed mainly of officers and advisors. On December 8, 1951, two car loads of boys traveled to Delavan to participate in the judging and grain show held there annually. The Forman F.F.A. took first place in the judging contest. Many ribbons were awarded our boys on the corn they displayed. This corn was raised by the boys as a summer project. The boys sold stationary, wrapping paper, and ribbons for the Christmas season. Later on in February, they sold garden seeds, working in cooperation with the Vitality Seed Company. The F.F.A. had printed a calendar with a picture of all the members on it. Money for publishing this calendar was obtained by selling ads, which appeared on the calendar, to the local merchants. In the spring, the boys planted pine trees for Lewis Warner. For the past three years the F.F.A. has had a chain gilt program. Each boy who receives a gilt is to return two bred zilts to the chapter for distribution the next year. This year four gilts were distributed to members of the chapter. As a final climax to a very successful year for the Agriculture Department a parent and son banquet was held in the Forman Gym on the evening of March 27. VOGhL'S INC.
