 The Greenbank Chapter of Future Homemakers of America consists of 64 girls. The Club strives to teach the girls the art of homemaking. In keeping with the motto “Toward New Horizons” each member tries to attain better home and family life. Each fall freshmen girls, meeting certain qualifications, join the club by initiation. Being taken into the Club consists of a day of folly and a very serious initiation by candlelight the following day. The meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month during the fifth period. One of the high- lights of the programs was an Easter Parade of styles dating from 1900 to the “new look” of ’48. Every spring our thoughts turn to our Annual Spring Party. Each member invites whom she wishes to accompany her. Of course everyone enjoys the occasion thoroughly. In the spring the chapter is represented by three delegates to the regional and each summer the Club is represented at the State Meeting at Jackson’s Mill by three delegates. The officers elected to serve the club this year are as follows: President .... Vice President Secretary ..... Treasurer ..... Representative Jeanne Sheets Maxine Vandevander ....
