FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA On October 24, the first event of the Home Economics Ciub year was the usual initiation of our new members which brought our total membership up to 55. Then the club was affiliated with the state-wide organization F. H. A. The organization colors of red and white, the symbol of the red rose helped us to keep in mind the motto ‘‘Toward New Horizons” as we grew and faced new problems. — And it was for “New Horizons” that we were striving as we worked under the guidance of the following officers; President, Veda Mae Ebert; Vice-President, Marge Homer; Secretary, Marilyn Davis; Treasurer, Martha Greiner; Scrapbook Committee, Donna Lindsay and Doris Lindsay; Sponsor, Miss Boyd. For the first time at O. T. H. S. we printed an F.H.A. handbook which contained the names of the officers, the committees for the year, the creed, the purpose, the colors, the flower, the motto, and a yearly schedule for meetings. During the year F. H. A. sponsored several school activities. On November thirteenth the Football Banquet in honor of the members of the football squad and the cheer leaders was held. In January we raised some money by selling subscriptions to the Household Magazine and cookbooks. Then in the spring our girls attended the spring rally at Gilman where our Scrap Book was on display. In addition to all these other activities F.H.A. and G.A.A. sponsored on April 9 the annual Mother-Daughter Tea, which ended our year's work.
