The Future Business Leaders of America is an organization of girls who plan to pursue a career in business. Its members indulge in projects for the Business Department that enable them to gain the experience they will need in the future. During football season, the girls of F.B.L.A. are in charge of concessions. They have earned more money for the Athletic Association this year than any other club that has handled this activity in the history of Marple-Newtown. Throughout the winter the girls attend a state-wide convention and compete in contests in the school of a nearby chapter. At the end of the year, a scrapbook is submitted to Mrs. Maskula, the club s advisor, who keeps it on record for refer- ence in years to come. 24
