FHA-F FA in Awards, Contribute To School Changes We are pleased with the progress our students are makingg therefore, we haven't found it necessary to make any major changes, stated Mr. Glass, Sponsor of the Future Farmers of America. Every year is a new year because there are new people who respond differently to the set up we have. New people simply make each year unique, he explained. The FFA worked to finish another year of awards and accomplishments. There were forestry judgings, farm safety programs, hog evaluations, and landscaping projects. Major attention was aroused when the FFA won first place in the T.V. Downing FFA Federation Forestry Contest. Many of those home econ- omics students who possessed a deeper interest in the area joined the Future Homemakers of America. The group en- gaged in various school func- tions including entertaining teachers, helping the needy and helping to organize a new district federation. Mrs. Esther Reese led the girls to win an Outstanding Chapter Award. The FHA gave girls a chance to do some extra sewing to add to their wardrobes.

Yearbook Combines Sections, Wins VHSL Award The yearbook staff came to the conclusion that there were overall trends seemingly affecting the entire year. Problems included a gap with the young, an overcrowded school and a somewhat prevailing apathy among students. Pockets of liber- alism and concern, however, were discovered by the staff when in- vestigating student participation in Thanksgiving Baskets for the County, and support of the Basket- ball game to raise money for cancer. The staff worked hard on a new format to make the Gold Medal- lionf' more diversified and inter- esting to its readership nurtured on Soul Music, mod design and tele- vision. Four main sections, including a stronger closing, replaced the usual three, Winning First Place in the Vir- ginia High School League com- petition last year left this year's staff with the problem: How do we top this?
