Domestic Engineering The F.H.A., Future Homemakers of America, is a very popular organization at North High. All students, presently or previously enrolled in a Home Economics course, are eligible for membership. Under the guidance of ad- visers, Ms. Debbie Stotz and Ms. Linda Wilson, the club's program has grown to offer many different services to both the student and the community. Every year the club adopts an elderly, needy woman as their grand- mother. They see to many of her needs and make sure she is remembered on holidays and her birthday. Unfortunate children are also an important service project of the F.H.A. During the Christmas holidays members visited the Childrens Home in Ft. Myers to present gifts to these youngsters. Throughout the year the club held various fund raising activities which enabled them to continue their com- munity service projects. During this school year they sold cookbooks and posters, and ran the egg-toss contest during Homecoming Field Day. Leading the F.H.A. during 1981-82 were President Nanette Gill, Vice- President Tracy Iverson, Secretary Mis- ty Lovett, Historian Debbie Paulerson, and Treasurer Donna Howard. These able young ladies led their fellow club members in projects that would help others because they knew that positive community action enabled them to also improve their outlook on themselves.

Stoppers of Extinction Green-Peace is a relatively new organization on the North High campus. The group is committed to helping its na- tional organization in halting international whaling, Canada's annual Harp Seal hunt, and Iapan's killing of the dolphins. The members of the club strove to help the national affiliate in their efforts to discontinue all of the above unnecessary and inhumane acts by raising funds to keep the public informed of these atrocities. During Homecoming Week, Green Peace sponsored a drawing. Tickets were purchased, for 1011: each, by North students and the lucky winner became the proud owner of an adorable, soft, white toy seal. The second prize winner received a smaller version of this cuddly creation. Donations from members and bake sales throughout the year also brought in money. Officers of this organization during 1981-82 were President Pam Hagie, Vice- President Terri Osborne, Secretary Iill Wallace, Treasurer Karen Snodgrass, and Coordinator Christy Boring. Their adviser was Mrs. Betty Kayusa, Science Depart- ment Chairperson. Best of luck to these dedicated students in Green-Peace in their truly worthwhile crusade. They have shown everyone that Red Knight concern reaches around the world. 1 ,M . kg, .- A ,gpm . an Q .3 will . .

Caution: Knights at ork The Cooperative Business Education lC.B.E.j program was operated during 1981-82 in conjunction,with the Future Business Leaders of America lF.B.L.A.j organization. Although enrollment in C.B.E. classes mandated membership in F.B.L.A., all other business education students were invited to join. This com- bined group, F.B.L.A.!C.B.E., offered students the opportunity to gain insight into various aspects of a business career. Through club, class, and individual service projects, the members gained skill in the job oriented fields of typing, shorthand, stenography, filing, account- ing and human relations. They were in constant demand to type, reproduce, and collate programs, newsletters, and mailings for North High and community groups. F.B.L.A. is a national organization with chapters in all 50 states. The North High chapter, led by President Debbie Stokes, Vice-President Doreen Graff, Secretary Kim Hughes, Treasurer Bren- da Massoth, Reporter Mary Massoth, Historian Kim Kibler, and Parliamen- tarian Beverly Stevens, stressed the im- portance of the concept upon which the national organization is based, the free enterprise system. All year members worked with their sponsor, Mrs. Becky Pacl, to perfect skills they would be tested on during their district, state and national competi- tions. This year's district meeting was held at Cape High. Students who placed in the top threeplaces in all contest categories advanced to the State Leader- ship Conference in Orlando in April. This 4-day meeting was an expensive trip for members, but their year long Avon sales helped to defray costs. Once a month F.B.L.A.!C.B.E. members left North for breakfast at a local restaurant. This was not a mere social gathering, but a time when they were enlightened by guest speakers on the various facets of the business world and the occupational opportunities available to them in the future. North's F.B.L.A. members joined their associates from all the other Lee County high schools in sponsoring an Employerflilmployee Banquet at the Cape Coral Country Club just prior to the end of the school year. It was their way of saying thank-you to the various members of the business com- munity who had shown their patience and understanding and taken these fledgling business leaders into their companies and businesses. 1 - F.B.L.A.!C.B.E.
