One of Many Sponsors for Athletic Field Snowball Royalty L to R; Kim Wienk, Nancy Smith, Tam Stevens, Charm Jensen, Ron Adams, Jerome Woodcock, Steve Salter, and Jack Nelson. Tam Stevens rates in State. Through rain and fog, and even snow, the LPHS FHA girls did their thing. The money that was made this year through dances, bake sales, sock hops, bike-a-thons, etc... was used for the purchasing of a new electric scoreboard for the new football field. The night of January 18 was full of fun and excitement for everyone concerned with the FHA Snowball Dance. Charm Jensen and Ron Adams were chosen to reign over the event. The theme chosen for the dance was: Winter Fantasy. Since Tammy Stevens was selected as the Regional Chairman and State Treasurer tor 1974-75 year, the Region III convention was held in Erwin hosted by the Lake Preston Chapter. The first time the meeting was set up it got canceled because of snow. The second time of set-up some of the towne were unable to attend, but, as they say in show biz, the show must go on. They also say in show biz that they stole the whole show. That's exactly what the Lake Preston Chapter did! The LPHS girls won the dis- play contest and Mark Odden won the Regional Beef Cook- off. Almost every month there was a sock hop held in the gym. With the admission price of a quarter, every high school student could attend. Music was provided by various tape players of local students. In May many students were seen biking on their way to Erwin in the FHA Bike-a-thon. Those participating in the 20 mile ride went to people that they knew to get them to pledge money for every mile they rode. On the way there was the bad misfortune of a drenching rain. The ride was held up for about a half hour because of the rain. Some riders dedided not to wait any longer, so they left in the rain. Most of the 13 riders completed the ride, and they made over $300 to contribute to the fund towards the scoreboard. This year the FHA joined with the FFA to hold their annual banquets. Each organization presented their awards and at the end installed the new officers. Finally, with another successful year to back the Fu- ture Homemakers, they move onward to try to find new and better things to do for everyone. 9

Future Farmers of America = FFA Following the fad of raising money for the new football field, the FFA Chapter worked towards the construction of a concession stand. The FFA attended many judging meets this year. They also attended the State Convention in Breckings. After the coronation festivities and the burning of the H , the Future Farm- ers hosted a watermelon feed on the school parking lot. Again this year the FFA boys sold fruit at Christmas. This was their most important money making project, and everyone worked hard to make the money for the concession stand. This year the slave auction was held in the gym following the Athletic Ban- quet. Due to conflicts, they were told this was the time to have it. All of the boys sold for high prices, and everyone was SUPPOSED to do their work. For the concession stand the boys got a $400 grant from the government to help pay for the expenses. All went well this year, and high hopes for the next year will soon be ad- vancing on them with the coming year. The boys will go into the summer months trying to do the things that they learned to do in Dagel's future farming classes. 10
