LEARN. WORK. AND were the reasons we fifty-five girls met twice a month for FHA meetings. Our leaders this year were Miss Mor- rison, Sponsor, Mrs. Golden, Chapter Mother, Barbara Golden, President, Patricia Leathers, Secretary, Jean Phillips, Treasurer, Sue Schultz, Histor- ian, Thelma Mears, Student Council Representative, Shirley Golden, Re- porter, Shirley Jackson, Program Chairman, and Sara Sigler, Songleader. LEARNING took place during talks and demonstrations about grooming, personality, family life, and many other things that will be of help to us. WORK was easily found when we had Community Clean Up Week , we did everything from baby sitting to cleaning attics. Also, we sold pop corn at ball games, gave a Sadie Hawkins Party, and sponsored a Coke Dance and Cake Walk after the Farmer City basketball game. FUN was had at the FHA and FFA Christmas Party, during Heart Sister Week in February, at which time the girls received a gift and valentine from their unkown heart sister, at the FHA and FFA skating party, on Daddy Date Night, when the girls entertained their dads, and at a picnic for our girl friends. To end our year with FHA, we had a Tea in May for our mothers. which was one of our nicest occasions. Row 1-S. Jackson. P. Flanagan. B. Followell. E. Underhill. D. Silvers. L. Lamont. S. Schultz. E.

TODAY, The year of 1949-50 was a big one for Miss Bane and her librarians: Doris Ann Beaumar, Judith Dooley, Barbara Estes, Maurita Garee, Mary Anne Graning, Luarisdine Hutson, Joyce Jones, Marilyn Peavler, and Bertha Poindexter. At times, Juanita Buss and Maxine Spratt gave able assistance. The librarians had planned many changes and started right away. They Worked like Turks getting the library cleaned up and putting books in order. New books was the cry of studentsg so the librarians and Miss Rane, with the permission of the school board and Mr. Johnson, decided to order quite a few. At last, after selecting and rejecting some, a care- fully compiled list was finished. During the time of ordering the books, the staff closed the library for general improvement. The card catalogue was put in order, the filing cabinet was rearranged, book jackets were sorted, books were re-marked, and thirty-five of our most read books were rebound. Finally, the postman brought a box of books. But alas! they weren't all there. Box by box they came, until all seventy-five books had arrived. The biggest job was yet to come! Many periods during the day and evenings after school and after supper were spent in getting the new books ready for the students' use. Miss Bane, of course, worked with the staff 3 and as a reward for their efforts, she took them to supper several times. In the end the work paid off as they look back on their accomplishments. The school has reason to be proud of its library. eleven
