Chapter got off to an early start this year by electing officers early in September. In October, several of our members attended the regional F.H.A. meeting held at Wyalusing Valley High School. This was a wonderful meeting and we brought many good ideas back to our chapter. As in previous years, we sold nylon stockings to raise chapter funds. We also made and sold Christmas pins and corsages. Money made on these projects was used to send chapter delegates to the State F.I-I.A. Conference at Penn State in June. We also contributed to the State F.H.A.. Scholarship Fund, the Crossnore School for Needy Children and a refuge family in our community. No school year would be complete without the annual May Dance. This is the only formal dance in our school, and we are very proud to have the privilege of sponsoring this gala affair. This year, ninth graders, who had joined Jr. Hi F.H.A. in eighth grade, we allowed to become members of our senior high chapter. It has been a very good year and we hope the chapter will continue to grow. 36
