Happ Birthda This year marked a special date on the calendar for FHA, it was FHA's 4Oth birthday. The birthday celebration was held with the Spring Rally, which was at Orion High School in March. Along with the Spring Rally, there were many other events in which the FHA participated. Some of these events included the Fall Rally in Kewanee, the Mother- Daughter Banquet at St. Francis Monestary, Dad- dy Date Day, a Saturday luncheon, the homecom- ing parade, Christmas caroling, a pizza party, the spring trip to Chicago, and the State Convention. The money making projects included doughnut day every Tuesday, two sock hops, a fund-raiser for the Statue of Liberty, a 'Save the Children' fund drive for Africa, and a 'Keep American Beau- tiful' community project. To sum it all up, Jeannette Ross, FHA sponsor said, l think we've accomplished alot this year and a lot more people became involved - it's a good thing to realize that we do projects to help others as well as the FHA. All members should feel a sense of pride belonging to an organization such as FHA. , f 'w Hoa Bingham washes dishes for the FHA to use at the rally. 5 F.H.A.

Spring cleaning and getting rid of eight months worth of accumulated junk. . . . trying out all those Christmas gifts that were stuffed into a closet five months ago. . . . taking the dog out for a leisurely walk.
