Preparing for the Future Students interested in homemak- ing joined organizations such as F.H.A. (Future Homemakers of America) and H.E.R.O. (Home Economics Related Occupations). Both clubs worked in developing cooking skills by preparing a variety of dishes that were served at a faculty Christmas dinner. The members not only learned how to care for young children, but also for senior citizens. During the holiday season, the clubs visited Leewood Nursing Home and sang Christmas carols. In addition to these projects, the students were taught about nutrition, economics, and consumer information. Throughout the year, major emphasis was placed on creating unity within the family.

How Later The D.E.C.A. and F.B.L.A. clubs provided many students with a chance to improve their business skills and experience a wide range of vocational careers. Students who were enrolled in a business course or in a distributive education class were eligi- ble to join the clubs. The clubs par- ticipated in many interesting events throughout the year. For instance, D.E.C.A. (Distributive Education Clubs of America) attended the Employer- Employee Banquet and also made a field trip to Baltimore Harbor. These experiences along with other events helped the members learn about and find jobs dealing with merchandising, advertising, market research, and sales promotion. The F.B.L.A. (Future Business Leaders of America) club par- ticipated in The Spring Leadership Conference at NOVA. This activity allowed the members to test their skills in various competitive events such as stenography, typing, accoun- ting, and data processing. Both clubs gave eligible students needed ex- perience for possible future careers.

She had the opportunity to be an exchange student to Germany during the summer, sponsored by the AFS club (short for American Field Service). Upon arriving in Germany, Valerie engaged in a three day crash course of the native language. While learning how the Germans live, she also took tours and and spoke with Parliament members. Continuing to fulfill its promise to make foreign students feel at home in the U.S., the AFS club had such projects as a workshop in Bethesda, guest speakers, and bake sales. The club also hosted a Christmas party at Lake Braddock, in- viting exchange students from other schools in the area. Also in store for the year was a student exchange program with another school in the country, where students would trade places for a few days. If students had any interest in other cultures or lifestyles, they were eligible to be members of the AFS club. 352 A.F.S.
