These hard-working girls proved this state- ment when they presented their Mardi Gras Dance in March. The climax of this mas- querade affair was the crowning ofthe Gems Gentleman, Red Kirk. These Future Homemakers of America. sponsored by Mrs. Edris Butler, with their warmest smiles and most persuasive sales talks, were seen after school this year sell- ing Stingarees donuts and blue and gold pom poms.

The girls got together at meetings every week, and also enjoyed pot luck suppers, a picnic at Greynolds Park, and an installa- tion of olhcers and new members. Among all of these activities they found time for the evaluators and to serve the basketball play- ers a spaghetti dinner in their honor. To complete the year. the Gems put on their traveling clothes and made several jaunts upstate. Many of the Homemakers represented the MHS chapter at the State Fair in Tampa in February. The traveling bug bit them again and delegates were oh' to the FHA state convention held at Orlando in April. The benefits of the Gems Club were not kept only within the boundaries of Sting- town. South Broward High School also wel- comed their services when several MHS Gems organized an FHA chapter there.
