This helped them to decide for or against teaching as a career. Officers attended a state workshop which showed them how to achieve their goals cluring the year. The club divided into groups according to their classes. Each group was responsible for sponsoring a project for all groups to participate in. One of the biggest proiects was to help a lady who took care of many neighborhood children in her home. Members helped to entertain the children by playing games, helping with crafts and reading to them. Future Homemakers of America was a national club or- ganized for the purpose of helping individuals improve per- sonal, family and community living, and to encourage democracy.

Students served refreshments and entertained with games.
