Work towards a better tomorrow It was a rare day in the 1967-68 school year that FTA president, janet Henry, or vice-president, Diana Bretsen couldn,t be seen slaying over some project on FTA. These students along with others such as secretary, Mar- cia Smith, treasurer, jeH Rothwieler, and activity chair- man, Rae Armstrong, spent many hours preparing for the many activities that the club originated and partici- pated in. The money raising projects during the year were not only interesting, but also profitable. Selling windbreakers, for instance, and selling pictures of the students on Santa's knee, showed the extent of imagina- tion and initiative that the club possessed. Illustrating the just plain funn that the members of this club enjoyed was the Christmas Party at the house of the club's advisor, Mrs. Ruth Crook. The object of the party was to trim a Christmas Tree, but after that was done, the evening was spent in games and enjoyment. Being an educational club originally, the club lives up to its tradition by sponsoring a tutoring service, helping with student day, and granting a one hundred dollar scholarship to a deserving senior. Among the other events were a senior party, a field trip, and a membership banquet. jackie Woolard and Sandy Smith sell Chris McKinney a windbreaker F.T.A.

F.H.A. OFFICERS: Kathy Spadoni, Theresa Malich, Marlene Brones, Linda Perrish, Karen Olson, Denise Schillinger, FHA and FTA Diana Mosiman, Kathy Spadoni, and Sharon Tomlinson. FHA was organized a little differently this year. In past years, the girls who were enthusiastic and came to each activity day meeting became members of the club. This year, all the girls in any Home Economics class are members of the club whether or not an active particpa- tion is shown in the meetings. To raise money, the officers and members, under the leadership of Marlene Brones, sold apples at the begin- ning ofthe year for those students who stayed after school. In the tradition of past years, FHA members went to the Regional Meeting in the fall and to Recognition Day in the spring. The meetings proved to be worth while, so in addition to these, the club also sent two girls to the State Meetings. l

Letlermen devote time and energy Lettermens club president jim Wright. Willing to lend a helping hand, the lettermen's club, made up of everyone receiving a letter in any sport, re- newed from last year their pledge of assistance in the recovery project of Tommy Borgert. Tommy was born with brain damage but with special theraputic exercises, recovery is possible. The Lettermen participate every weekday morning in hour long sessions and twice weekly in the afternoon. As this project took most of the lettermenis time, the club had little time for other activities. They had a metal drive, however, to raise money for a new whirl pool bath, which speeds the recovery of pulled muscles from three weeks to three days. February the ninth was the date of the annual letter- men-faculty basketball Game. The highlight of the year came when the new letter- men were initiated into the club. This rather messy event happened after football season was over and in- cluded everything from wearing their clothes backwards all day and having an eloquent dinner of raw gold fish, raw oysters, and raw eggs, not to mention the haircream that was made from molasses.
