June, 19o2 The Yellowjacket Page Seventeen FROM FASHION SHOWS TO CAMP WITH F.H.A. The F.H.A. has been very active this year. A luncheon was served and a fashion show presented in Patrick Henry Ele- mentary School's multipurpose room in October to the mothers and daughters of the Martha Wasliingtoii Federation. Five points were awarded to those who served and cleaned up after the luncheon. Fruit cakes, note cards, artificial Howers, and bake sales brought a small fortune to the treasury. A showcase in Columbia Pike branch library informed the community various aspects of the F.H.A. It was shown during the month of April. The program of fun went like this: OH September 14 - Hi Neighbor , membership meeting September 21 - Who , election and planning October 12 - Getting to Know You , chapter fun October 19 - lt All Depends on You , installation - office - leader- ship workshop November 9 - Parliamentary Pro- cedure November 16 - Deck the Halls 3 Christmas ideas December 14 - Functioning Com- mittees December 21 - We Wish You a Merry Christmas january ll - Improving Chapter Meetings January 18 - Buttons and Bows , wardrobe planning February S - Chapter Parents February 15 - It Might as Well be Spring 3 fashion show March S - What's in store for F.H.A. camp, convention March 15 - Home on the Rangevg snacks and party foods May 10 - Business Odds and Ends, fall workshop.

Many students have requested that the newspaper sponsor new elec- tion for president. The suggested can- didates are Ben Casey from the Swoon Medical Party and Dr. Kildare from the Ruf-f-f Hospital Platform. 2. Has anyone considered starting a petition to put traffic lights in the school? We've already got traffic cops fhall patrolsj, one way street signs Qstairwaysj, intersections, traffic jams, accidents, rude drivers, why not stop lights? 3. Do you know that doll Mrs. Lewis has been giving artificial respiration to? We hate to break the news, but the doll hasn't come to life yet. 4. To prevent boredom and get a little exercise in the cafeteria in the morning, a group known as the lunch- room lunatics play dodge ball, with panic stricken students as the dodgers. 5. If you take a close look at the pictures of the teams, you will see Don- ny Vannoy doesn't have any socks, Louis is playing basketball in his track shoes, and Danny Mansuy hasn't even got shoes. It has been a l-U-ll-Q' yn-ar ! !! this year a successful 0118. The six committees, the Program, Social, Finance, Fashion Show, Publi- city and Refreshment Committees have been very helpful and have given a chance to every girl to serve her club. Many girls are preparing for F.H.A. camp for this summer. It is held in two different sessions. The first is June 18- 23 and the second, july 2-7. A girl can attend only one of these six day ses- sions. The F.F.A.'s will attend this camp also. Special thanks go to the chapter parents, Mrs. Catoe and Mrs. Weldon who provided the club with much needed transportation. Certainly much of the club's guidance from Mrs. Ste- vens and Miss Bayly has helped it pro- gress. Sherry Williams THE MIDDLE MEN The half-written words in the two columns below share the same letters to make complete words. See if you can figure out what these missing letters are. The letters end the first word and begin the second word. In the paren- theses are definitions of the half writ- ten words. One of these Middle Men is done for an example.

Boys' shirts with point- ed tails range in many different hues. Tennis shoes have also made a bright showing worn with black and white pleated and burlap skirts, and Ben Casey and ruffled blouses. Accessories to go with these outfits are Tiki gods, circle pins, bamboo-handled purses, stretch belts, hair bands, and bows. Pointed toes had much competition this year with the newly arrived square toes in all sorts of Hats and plastic tennis shoes. Along with the twist came red and white striped dresses, shirts and blou- ses. Vests, sweaters, corduroy shirts Qof course with the top button openj and loafers were dominant in the boys' ap- parel. Next year will these fashions be as out-dated as bucket purses, pony tails, and sack dresses? The future will re- veal the answer!!

funn, 1962 The Yellowjacket Page Nineteen .3001-ia WOUHJ' Mo nl., TJ. had an even all round season compiling a 2-2-1 record in football and a 5-5 finish in basketball. Winning a 7-6 duel with the Fal- cons. the Yellowjackets were the only squad to beat Gunston which finished a 4-1 season in football. The losses, 12-O from Stiatford and a 12-6 defeat dealt by Williamsburg were the two subduels. TJ. and Kenmore clashed in a 7-7 engagement. The final game with Swanson was a brilliant victory for Thomas Jefferson, as the Jackets hand- ed a 12-O loss to the opponents. Mr. Olexy was the head man behind the coaching. The basketball season started with a very pleasing 18-12 win over Wil- liamsburg and began to close in a nerve racking battle against Kenmore fthe Swanson game was the last of the ser- iesj although TJ. pulled a come-from- behind Victory, defeating the Braves in overtime, 47-46. Mr. Motes was the coach of the teaIn. The high game scorer of the season was Billy Rice, who made 20 points against Stratford. Two of the Yellowjaclcets' drops were close games: Swanson 20, TJ. 18 5 Williamsburg 29, TJ. 26. Last year the Yellowjackets finished with a four win and six lost record. The picture looks bright for track this year, when TJ. will be competing against other junior highs. Records in BOYS' INTRAMURAL This year the boys' intramurals have been quite good.
