Each of the three succeeding issues has showed much improvement, and the February issue is truly a creditable piece of work. During the year the staH, with the consent and help of the School Board, purchased a new mimeograph machine costing 330300. A gift of S50 was donated by the class of 1945 for this purpose. The mimeograph machine has proved a great asset to the paper. Last year the staff climaxed spring activities with a tour through the Grit Building and a banquet at the Lucille Tea Room. Cooperation is our key word and is responsible for the marvelous work the staff has accomplished. Congratulations go to the old staff, and wel- come goes to the new staff!

-1'f 9Pm.f,, YEARBOOK STAFF The stall, with the help of the advisers, began its work early in the fall. At the first meeting a new method of advertising to increase the number of patrons was discussed. Covers were selected and the first plans of the book were drawn up. Senior pictures were taken early in October. Subscription sales exceeded any previous year. There still remained a sum in the yearbook treasury from last year, so new ideas and more pictures were planned. After Christmas group pictures were taken, and the written material was assembled. As a farewell party for the old and a reception tor the new staff, a banquet was held at The Lucille Tearoom in May.

The Future Homemakers of America is a national organization of students studying homemaking in the public secondary schools of the United States. The motto of the F. H. A., Toward New Horizons, ex- presses the eight purposes of the organization-learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. The organization increases opportunity for the de- velopment of leadership and intelligent participation in home, school and community life. In all club meetings a program has been developed through readings, movies, quiz kid programs, question boxes, study units, debates and talks in order to inspire this work through our school, club, home, selves and community. Hughesville F. H. A., with Mrs. Marie Merrell as Chapter adviser and with sixty club members helping complete the successful project, continued to sponsor the school lunch program. The club has the honor of receiv- ing many F arm Show Awards, one of them being that of a state F. H. A. song entitled Tell Me F. H. Af, written by Phyllis Westcott, who is Lycoming County F. H.
