Getting involved was what the FHA and FFA clubs were all about this year. Sales of donuts, cookbooks, Tupperware, carmel apples, lovenot bracelets, along with occasional bake sales supplied the FHA with needed funds. The year was filled with more than fund raising projects. The club sponsored a lot of FUN activities, too. December Christmas shopping, a swimming party at the YWCA, and attending movies were a port of the activities the girls enjoyed throughout the year. Presented by the FHA girls was a crazy legs dance and a contest in which Mr. Krepps was voted to hove the craziest legs. The girls attended a State Convention at Western Michigan University, and participated in Regional meetings in Flint. The biggest event, a trip to Cedar Point, brought a very busy club to a close for the year. The guys were kept just as busy as the girls in the FFA. The FFA entered 6 of the 12 Ag skills contests at State Competition in East Lans- ing, sold firewood, and was honored by Paul Knox, who earned the title of State Farmer. A trip was taken by the club to MSU for Farmer's Week, and Canada's Alquanquin National park welcomed the men for a week's vacation during the sum- mer. The local FFA also captured the FFA District Basketball Championship. 24

Raffles, senior-teacher games, play rehearsals, and sign making were all familiar but still enjoyable events that made memories of days at NBHS last forever. The three clubs that sponsored these old time favorites were the Pep, Varsity, and PAC clubs. Although the Pep club may not have been too vocal, they found working behind the scenes making signs a great boost for keeping the spirit high. During the holi- days, they raffled off a ham and a giant Christmas stock- ing to raise funds. The Varsity Club's membership increased greatly this year due to the many girls who earned varsity letters in the newly established girl’s athletic program. The activities of the group included parking cars and directing traffic at football games, ordering traditional letter jackets, and a trip to Cobo Arena to see a Pistons' basketball game. Even though the Performing Arts Club didn’t present any major performances this year, it still kept active by staging a number of small plays for the elementary chil- dren. The group also attended two plays at EMU, which provided a learning, as well as an entertaining experi- ence. 4 Groups Add Effort
