Boys from the sopho- more, junior and senior classes are selected for membership. These boys pledge themselves to render service to the high school and to the community.

The objectives of the Key Club are: to develop initiative and leadership; to provide experience in living and working together; to serve the school and community; to cooperate with the school teachers and principal; to prepare for useful citizenship; to accept and promote the Constitutional Objectives of Kiwanis International.

THE VIKING LOG Two separate classes worked together to publish the students’ news- paper, The Viking Log. Eight members o£ the staff from last year teamed with twenty members of the present Journalism class to issue six papers printed by commercial printers and six extra editions which were mimeo- graphed at the school. This year The Viking Log was entered in the West Virginia University newspaper contest for school newspapers. This is the first time Petersburg has entered the contest for many years. A rating had not been received when this report was written. By printing twelve editions of the paper the class set a record for editions in one year. Last school year only nine editions were printed. Front row; Left to right, Mary Jane Hedrick, Jo Ann Mowry, Uldene Mon- gold, Margaret Secrist, Ina Alt, Jeanette Weese, Betty Rexrode.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA The Future Homemakers of America is a national organization made up of students studying homemaking in junior and senior high schools of the United States and its territories. As an integral part of the program of home economics in the schools of America, it offers opportunity for the future development of pupil initiative in planning and carrying out activities related to homemaking. The FHA brings together state groups interested in and working toward better home and family life, providing opportunities to share in solving prob- lems important to home life, and sponsors group projects, local, state and national in scope. The FHA is an incorporated, non-profit youth organization. It came into being through the cooperative efforts of youth enrolled in homemaking in secondary schools in building a national organization of their own in which they may develop social qualities and promote better home life for its mem- bers and their families. The motto of the FHA is “Toward New Horizons . The flower is the red rose and the colors are red and white. The Petersburg Chapter adopted a German Homemaking Class in a German Girls’ School. A gift box was sent to the school by the club. Five representatives along with the sponsor, Mrs. Bess Snyder Mohl, attended the Eastern Regional Meeting at Romney.
