For the 1965-66 school year, the New Athens Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America chose as their main objective-- Good Health--A Valuable Asset.” In working toward this objective, members toured Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children and heard a doctor speak on physical health and a minister on spiritual health. A schoolwide survey on eating habits of NACHS students was conducted. A panel discussion by prominent citizens on family relationships, carried out the minor objective— Good Family Relations Through Communications. Members also participated in the Section 4B Rally and the annual May awards banquet. Bake sales served as money-making activities. The chapter also sponsored a Christmas Dance for the student body. Freshman initiates wait patiently for their turn at the antics planned and carried out by the Seniors.
