This was done when the chapter went with Buck Little to Lake Pomme de Terre for three days. The annual Dekalb corn project was cancelled due to the summer drought. Barnwarming was held at the end of inititation week in October. In November, the chapter went to the American Royal and Rodeo where they saw the Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley Show. The next day the officers attended the National Convention. The chapter had several teams at the workshop held in Sedalia and at District held in Warrensburg, but nobody made it to State. Two delegates were sent to the State Convention: Jeff Thompson and Mark Kersten. Tim Castle received the State Farmer Degree this year.

Lettermen’s Club The activities of the Letter- men’s Club consisted of selling T-shirts and air cushions to sit on during the basketball games. The Club also operated the concession stand at the softball games in the fall. The projects were held so that the Club could make some money to help pay off its debts. It is hoped the Club will soon be out of debt and able to realize some of the profits for future use.

FHA Activities The FHA started out the year with their annual project of prepar- ing Thanksgiving dinners and delivering them to citizens of Malta Bend. The girls were rewarded by the feeling of satisfaction derived from doing something to make someone happy. Initiation day was greatly an- ticipated by the freshmen girls. They made pancakes and had a contest to see who could eat them the fastest without hands!! Christmas caroling was the December project with a dinner and gift exchange held at the residence of Jim Weaver. Valentine cakes were made and sold for the money-making project. It was quite successful. FHA Week was cut short — it was only three days long because of a snow storm. The year concluded with the Parent-Daughter Banquet. The award of Outstanding FHA Member for the year was presented to Rene Montgomery. Peggy Chevalier received an outstanding award in her class, along with Paula Gorrell, Becky Plattner, and Brenda Weaver, in their classes. Rene Montgomery smiles happily because of her Outstanding FHA Member Award for 1980-1981.
