I fl C The J.B.J. Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America, is composed of girls enrolled in the Home Economics Course. With such purposes in mind as: working for good home and family life for all, to provide wholesome individual and group recreation, and to further in- terest in home economics, this club is maintained. These aims were achieved under the capable leadership of: Carol Bertolini, President, Shirley Whipkey, Vice-President, Ruth Zorn, Treasurer, Karen Cole, Secretary, Barbara Eash, Historian, and Mrs. Haberlen, Advisor. During the Christmas season the girls made cookies, gifts and yuletide decora- tions. They also prepared a box of clothing for the under-privileged chil- dren at Crossmore, a childrens' home maintained mostly from the proceeds of the second-hand articles they sell in their store. Projects of cooking, sewing, knit- ting, embroidering, with special disccus- sions of personal, child, and home care, provided a well-rounded program. This year, as in the past years, many of the girls attended the State Farm Show in Harrisburg. Dixie Stewart rep- resented our local chapter by singing a solo at the F.H.A. meeting held in con- nection with the Farm Show. Several F.H.A. students participated in our local apple dessert contest. Nancy Ryniak, selected by members of the 'Fac- ulty, received first place award for her original apple stars. In the county con- test, also held at J'.B.J., Nancy honored us by placing second. The well-rounded program practiced by these girls, does much forthe prepar- ation of better homemakers of to- morrow. F.H.A. OFFICERS L.-R. Mrs. Haberlen, R. Zorn, K, Cole, C. Bertolini, S. Whipkey.

ful-JCL O Jil, , The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the home, school and community, a high standard of Christian Character. This motto is the chief ambition of every member of this organization. The club members hope that by following this pledge they will set examples for their fellow students to follow. The club started the year by electing their officers: Edmond Phillips, President, Larry Shannon, Vice-President, Gary Mosholder, Secretary and Treasurer, and Don Fet- terolf, Chaplain. Their advisor is Mr. Leventry. This year ten new members were initiated into the club making a total of twenty-one members. The activities in- cluded: dances, a skating party and a number of other so- cial events. They also held activities with their co-organi- zation, the Tri-Hi-Y. A note of solemnity pervades each duty and activity, because it is basically a religious club and has a program of worship study and actions toward Christianity. With high spirits and a good attitude they all worked very hard to make the objectives cf the club a great success. 1 E The J.B.J. Chapter of the Tri-Hi-Y, one of the oldest organizations in our high school, has helped mold Christianity, Leadership and Depenclability into the lives of every member. The year's activities included: teas for the faculty, dances, one of which helped raise money for the March of Dimes, and selling peanuts. They helped to aid the Hungarian refu- gees by sending clothing and cther needs overseas. At Christmas they made their an- nual visit to the Children's Aid Home in Som- erset. New members were initiated this year at a very impressive ceremony which was at- tended by the parents cf club members. The Club President is Charlene Moors, with these other officers: Wilma Fetchl, Vice- President, Sandra Sheftic, Secretary, Gwen Cronemiller, Treasurer, and Betsy Stemmler, Chaplain. The club advisor is Louise Thomas. if . 'l.,,L:J Hi-Y President L. Shannon 28

This is the motto of the Future Farmers of America. Under the able leadership of Mr. LaVigne these boys learn to live and profit by this motto. The boys spend many long hours on their proiects. Whether in the shop or in the field, these boys put their heart into everything they do. With the assisting help of these seven boys, Jerry Krause, President, James Roddy, Vice-President, Robert Montgom- ery, Secretary, Dwight Jacobs, Treas- urer, James Hay, Reporter, and Michael Klebonis, Sentinel, they had a very suc- cessful year of many activities. These included the annual initiation which was a great experience to all the members. In January all the members attended the State Farm Show in Harrisburg. The boys saw the latest in farm machinery as well as livestock and other things to make farming easier. Again this year the basketball team went out in front when they played Somerset, Stonycreek, and Conemaugh Twp. The captain this year was Jim Roddy. Their annual corn and weiner roast was held in the fall of T956. Although the boys work on their pro- jects for many long hours they do take time out for relaxation. They held an assembly during hunting season on the safety of using guns and caring for them. The members of this long-standing club contributed a great deal to the story of our school year.
