Spiritually The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is an organization which allows stu- dents to bring Christ's word into their daily activities. A member of FCA does not have to be an athlete. Anyone who wants to learn more about Christ is encouraged to join. FCA had many activities during the year. These activities were directed at helping the community and they also had parties for themselves. The members met every Monday morn- ing and listened to sponsor Jim Dailey talk about Christ's importance in their lives. After the meeting, members were some- times treated to milk and donuts. Some of the parties FCA had were at Hal- loween and at Christmas. For the Hallow- een party, everyone met at junior Sheralyn Mott's house to eat and watch movies. In December, FCA had a Christmas party held in the commons. Everyone brought something to eat and a gift to exchange with fellow members. Everyone sat down and sang Christmas carols, and afterward, Dailey read the story of the birth of Christ from the Bible. FCA helped the youth of Pflugerville by refereeing at their basketball games. Mem- bers received $2.50 for each game they ref- ereed, and another $2.50 went towards the club. At the end of the season, the Youth League presented FCA with a plaque, and a check to show their appreciation. Fellowship of Christian Athletes is more than an organization; it stands for involve- ment of students and community. Accord- ing to sponsor Jim Dailey, the true purpose of FCA is for the members to set an exam- ple for other students. I feel that FCA helped the stu- dents grow spiri- tually. It helps the whole school stay together, when they needed to. The whole school has benefited from FCA,” said spon- sor Jim Dailey.

FHA Learning About Daily Living According to the handbook of the Fu- ture Homemakers of America, FHA's purpose is to strengthen individuals, and to teach leadership. It also helps mem- bers to better understand the way a home works. Along with learning about homemak- ing and themselves, members of FHA had a fun and productive year, with sev- eral unique fund raising activities and group efforts. The club began the year with a Bring your Own Banana party in September. Members brought bananas and the chapter supplied the toppings. In De- cember, FHA had their annual Teachers Tea party during school, which is the chapter's way of saying thanks to all the teachers. Each member brought one of her favorite dishes and served the teach- ers. The group also found time for its own Christmas party. This year, instead of exchanging gifts among themselves, members used the money to buy gifts for a family they adopted. It was a great experience helping that family have a Christmas they will always remember, said freshman Kristin Wilke. FHA also set aside one week during the year which was referred to as FHA Week. In that week club members at- tempted to inform the student body about their club. Activities included wearing the club colors of red and white, decorating lockers, and baking cookies for the teachers. FHA is one of the most active organi- zations at PHS and this year certainly proved that fact. Members not only learned about the aspects of a successful home, they also had the opportunity to have fun and make friends in the pro- cess. FHA members: First row: Michelle Locklear, Michelle Robinson, Theresa Israel, Tiffany Leslie. Second row: Kara McAllister, Stephanie Roland, Kristin Wilke. Micki Tennies. Third row: Sponsor Judy Coats, Anne Blakeley, Laura Wilkins, Dawn Betak, Christine Ingram, sponsor Judy Jennings. —34 F.H.A,— 1.

DECA DECA, the PHS chapter of Distribu- tive Education Clubs of America, is a unique organization. Members spend about half their school day working in businesses which deal with marketing or distribution. Students learn to think in terms of the market place, and in terms of practical experience for jobs to come after high school. As a club, DECA worked together to achieve a goal: success in marketing a product or item. The group ran the school store, providing candy and school supplies before school and at lunch. They also sold ice cream to raise money. Another activity in which students par- ticipated, quite willingly, was the group s party, held at the end of the year. 1.
