FHA members went caroling to the older citizens of the community in order to spread Christmas cheer after which a gift exchange was held at the school. The local chapter was fortunate in being represented by State FHA President, Nancy Rollins. Her year as state president was spent traveling throughout the state to deliver several speeches. To help finance the national delegate’s trip to New York, a pumpkin pie benefit was held. The annual Snowball dance was attended by numerous couples and everyone enjoyed a romantic evening.
