The Future Home- makers of America chap- ter at Monacan once again wrapped up an outstanding year. The FHA here at Monacan had fifteen members and five officers, with Cyn- thia Fuller as the Presi- dent of our chapter last year. They met on the second Thursday of each month, when they either organized and planned for future activities or participated in a project. The FHA completed a very active year indeed. They held a Fall Rally and a Teddy Bear Picnic in October, and in No- vember they participat- ed in a luncheon down- town. In December they had a Christmas Party for the faculty here at Monacan. A Cake Bake- Off was held in Febru- ary, and in March they had a Daddy Date Night. The members dressed up as clowns to visit a home for the elderly in April. A Spring Rally and a Mother-Daughter Banquet were held in May, and a Pizza Party was held in June. The club’s activities require a great deal of thought and preparation for which the officers and active members of this club are responsible. FHA.

They supplied the family, con- sisting of four children and a mother, with toys, food, and clothing to en- able them to celebrate a cheerier Christmas than would have otherwise been possible. As an- other community pro- ject, at Easter this past spring, the organization volunteered their ser- vices at Chippenham Hospital to help the pa- tients enjoy a happier holiday. As far as state projects and competitions go, the FBLA held a type-a- thon to benefit cancer victims. Participants got pledges for the activity, which was a great suc- cess. For the first time ever,.in the regional competition on March 3, the members of the Monacan FBLA achieved first place in the typing competition. This outstanding suc- cess enabled them to participate in the state competition on April 20, where they also per- formed well. Debra Floyd’s speedy typing enables her to be a winner in the Regionals competition. Putting together a child’s toy can be difficult as this FBLA member learns.

A Finger in Every Pot The Monacan S.C.A. is one of the busiest organizations at school. Under the leadership of Mrs. Delp, the S.C.A. planned many activities for the community, as well as the Monacan students them- selves. The S.C.A. sponsored the annual M M sale in which all students can participate. They also sponsored the Homecoming dance this past year. Additionally, the active organization collected canned ¥7 i Sar Page 116 SCA goods at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. They also sponsored a Toys for Tots campaign for underprivi- ledged kids at Christmas. Last year, the S.C.A. did many things to benefit the school. Most of these things went unnoticed, but they serve to enhance the student life here at Monacan. Among these was a donation to our school library fund and a con- tribution to construct a new stage for theatre productions. They also joined forces with the Science Club to buy bike racks for the school. One of the most popular ac- tivities that the S.C.A. spon- sored was the “Salute to the Chiefs” Dance after a basket- ball game. The band at the dance provided great enter- tainment for the students. Another S.C.A. project that gives the student body much enjoyment before and after school and at lunch is the Ju- tebox that the S.C.A. helped the school to buy. During the spring the 8.C.A. sponsored the Monogram Awards at the Spring Awards Assembly. This organization kept very busy. They provide our school with many pleasurable activi- ties all year long. Monacan students enjoy the juke- box maintained by the SCA to aid in the Ethiopian hunger relief program started by a concerned student body. S.C.A.
