IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER Smith. 4-H was a very active group. They participated in stock shows, speech day, demonstration day, and dress review. Some 4-H'ers were singled out this past year. Dawayne Smith won grand champion barrow at the State Fair as well as at Tulsa. This is the first time for this to happen in 25 years. Marlena Fletcher became a member of the State Blue Award Group in achievement. There are only 16 members in the state. Dawayne and Marlena also served as king and queen. Nobody can say that they didn't deserve it! Activities • 21

FEELING FREE AND ALIVE The Future Farmers of America have always been a prominent group at Newcastle since Newcastle is mainly agricultural. Stockshows, speech contests, and agricultural projects, are some things that keep this group busy. They learn many things that will be beneficial in the years to come. They must learn other things in FFA, too, like making good choices. They made a good choice when they selected Sheila Gilliam as Sweetheart. She won district sweetheart and first runner-up at the state fair. Lee Daniel and Paul Kammerlocher, two of the FFA officers, went to Washington, D.C. They attended conferences on leadership and brought home many great ideas. FFA-ROW 1: C. Wood, D. Smith, P. Kammerlocher, L. Daniel, S. Gilliam, C. Stanley, B. Coats, R. Lee. Mr. Straka. ROW 2: T.

As a result of doing service projects and presenting programs concerning crucial modern issues, the typical future homemaker learned more about family living than just how to function at the stove and at the Singer. In a word, the FHA'er became aware. And who was to say that the typical future homemaker of America was a female! There were male members as well learning to cope with today's society where roles are reversed so often they have become almost interchangeable. But FHA members were not always so serious. What's August without a watermelon feast? Spring without a weinie roast? FHA'ers handled business with pleasure! 22 • Activities FHA Officers-ROW 1: B. Weitelman, T. Longan. S. Griesel, K.
