Once again FHA won second place for their Homecoming float in October. In the following month, FHA sponsored the Col- lege Night Hospitality Recep- tion. In December they held their annual Faculty Christmas Party as well as their own FHA gylsdis baritpsi Christmas Party. Other activi- ties included the Cake Bake Off, March Culture Month, and the Mother-Daughter Banquet. FHA also had speakers on self- defense and on image and ap- pearance. The group planned charity work. Save-a Sweet- Heart happened in February; it was a program to stop teenage smoking. In October members dressed up in Halloween cos- tumes and handed out candy to patients at Chippenham Hospi- tal. A field trip was also planned. Members went to a luncheon at Kabutos and experienced a new culture and taste in food. With so many activities and charity events, FHA would def- initely be considered successful. E-EeAe oo
