Sponsoring two blood drives and a beautification project kept Future Homemakers of America members busy. The fall blood drive had 35 donors and the spring drive 28. In the Adopt-a-Highway program, they had their first trash pick-up on a stretch of Hwy. 183 two miles north of town March 21. One member commented about halfway through the pick-up, I ' m never going to throw any trash on the highway again. The Future Farmers of America club was quite busy with community ser- vice projects. Members of the Vocational Agricul- ture classes were busy painting the scale house downtown for the Luling Chamber of Commerce Farmers Market project. Members held their annu- al fruit and sausage sale selling over 600 items be- fore Christmas. The chap- ter also had a concession stand at football games plus they furnished ticket sellers and ticket takers at games. During Christmas members donated about 25 new toys for the annual Toys for Tots campaign. FFA members also showed livestock in the San Antonio and the Houston Livestock shows. Christi Home, Wesley Haltom, and Wesley Glov- er showed and Roam Grantham participated in the San Antonio calf scramble. During Blood Drive Day some students donate blood to help others as Junior Louis Pierre does while Senior Beverly Brown helps assist him through the do- nation. 128 FHA FFA

y- -SSHW Small Band Produces Big Wins With a smaller than usual band of 53 members, Luling competed in Alamo Stadium for dis- trict marching contest and received ' one ' ratings from all three judges. However, the Eagle band did not ad- vance to regional. Before the UIL Concert contest in April, the band went to a practice meet at Randolph and received a ' two ' rating. But at San Antonio they received a ' one ' in concert and a ' two ' in sight-reading, missing making sweepstakes. Playing in a high school band is not a piece of cake. Practice is hard work but the toughest parts are the long bus rides and get- ting dressed for perfor- mances, according to Sophomore Efrain Pera- lez. Drum major Greg Weiner said, Band is not supposed to teach you how to become a famous musician. It teaches team- work and responsibility and how to appreciate mu- sic. Freshman cornet player John Short said, Next year will be super. He and others are looking for- ward to next fall and striving for a sweepstakes rating. Besides practice and hard work, they look forward to working with their friends. Greg concluded, The friends you make in band will be some of the best you ever have. 130 BAND Band members are Front row: Christine Schmale, Sandra Lo- pez, Greg Weiner, Ellen Everett, Denise Evans, Missy Short.
