The Red Creek Chapter under the advisorship of Mrs. Charlotte Merrell has been very active again this year. On December 1, 1961 seventeen new members were initiated. The group supervised a Talent Show which has become a yearly event. They dressed dolls for the Community Christmas baskets and have participated in the Care Program. The F.F.A.. better known as Future Farmers of America under the sponsorship of Mr. Ralph Edwards, will cherish this year as being one of the most enjoyable and profitable ones they have ever had. The members will long remember the many hours of hard work shared in putting on the school fair and chicken barbecue. They will also cherish the memory of good times spent at the F.F.A. Convention, at the Cornell Farm Home Week, the Harrisburg Farm Show, and the Parents' and Son Banquet.
