Making Better for the Future As everyone entered North Fort Myers High for the beginning of the Silver An- niversary year, they were, of course, ex- cited. For some, the most exciting part was enrolling in one of the three most popular organizations on campus. While other clubs were just as important, the three most popular were: FFA CFuture Farmers of Americab, FHA CFuture Homemakers of Americab, and Horticulture Club. FFA dealt with preparing students for agricultural and onimol oriented profes- sions. The club members were educated in the various areas of discipline and then they put to use their learned skills. FFA officers for 1984-85 were: President - Greg Collier, Vice-president - Jim Hepp, Secretary - Tami Miller, Treasurer - Amy Pulsifer, Reporter - Michele McNeill, Sentinel- Missy Rowan, Chaplain - Dawn Matson, and the sponsor was Miss Nancy Ward. Among the many contributions of this enthusiastic group was their making North's campus very attractive by the planting of numerous trees and plants. They also tried to build leadership, responsibility, and citizenship. This past year there were over 69 paid members in the club, all of whom had as their main goal to improve leader- ship and agricultural skills. They had several activities planned during the past school year, including hosting the District Vlll and IX Leadership School and assisting the Adam Walsh Foundation by fingerprinting the youngsters at Good Shepherd School. FFA members held a UTS car wash and, again were active in various events at the Southwest Florida Fair in February. Several members worked in the livestock show. The second of the popular clubs was FHA l which was led by President - John Fuentes, Vice-president - Judy Gill, Secretary - Connie Lee, Treasurer - Lynda Rudd, Public Relations - Sherry Ward, Chaplain - Michelle Selby, Parliamentarian - Karen Johnson, and Historian - Beverly Robinson. The spon- sors of the 1984-85 club were Ms. Linda Wilson and Mrs. Deborah Starz-Wilcox. The club boasted twenty-five members this year. Among their contributions was their annual project with the Lee County Convalescent Home. Each year since 1981 FHA members have visited the Home and adopted grandparents, taking them cards and gifts. At the end of the year the club awarded the Home with a gift. Other club activities included the Computer Match for Red Knight students and faculty. ln January, members competed in the Profi- ciency Event Competition. Gathering leaves for many agricultural tests are Davld Kuser, Mike Tyndall, Shannon Lee, Brenda Mann, and Amy Pulsifer.
