The Future Farmers of America organization is the leadership training group composed of all the 42 students enrolled in Vocational Agriculture. Officers for this year were: President, John Crisan; Vice-Presi- dent, Mackey Love; Secretary, Leon Chapuis; Treasurer, Jimmy Guy Griffith; Reporter, Bill White; Sentinel, Gene Murry; Advisor, William H.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA The F. H. A. girls began the 1949-1950 year with enthusiasm and high hopes for another outstanding year of work and fun in the class and club. Sixty-two members joined the club. Officers elected were: fane Waddell, President; Jo Ann Hughart, Vice-President; Donna Kilby, Secretary-Treasurer; Opal Armbruster, Parliamentarian; Margaret Chapuis, Historian; and Florence Briscoe, Song Leader. Club mothers for this year were Mrs. Price Hughart, Mrs. C. A. Clarkson, and Mrs. Walter Pitzer. The Louisiana Chapter of the East Central District was honored on October 22, 1949, by being host to the annual F. H. A. Sub-District convention. Ten schools attended this all-day meeting. Wanda Lamme, a Louisiana girl, was elected by the ten schools as candidate for State Historian. Other high- lights of the day were a fall fashion show, directed by Mrs. Claude Smallwood, and including girls from all the schools. The dresses were loaned by the various Ladies' Shops in each town represented. The closing event was a dance and tea given by the Louisiana chapter. Seasonal events of the year were: a Christmas party, Valentine Dance, and the Mother and Daughter Tea which was held in March. A trip to Columbia for the State F. H. A. Day was made in April. Wanda Lamme was installed as state historian. During the year many of the girls worked hard in hopes that they might receive the $5.00 award given to the outstanding Home Economics student by the Dillender Grocery Store. 30
