FHA Sponsors Teacher Birthday Parties Happy birthday to you . . was the song of Future Homemakers of America each month as they cele- brated teachers' birthdays with a party, complete with birthday cup- cakes and candles. The service pro- ject wasa new one for the club. The girls attended district meeting in the fall at Wakulla High School, and at Christmas they took cookies to Criswell House. Cookbook, popcorn balls and doughnut sales all brought money in for a trip to the state meet- ing in spring.

Future Farmers Compete in Contests Providing a time and a place for boys to learn how to be leaders was the purpose of Future Farmers of America. Members of FFA had a chance to gain leadership abilities by putting their agricultural know how to practical use. Boys competed in contests to give them experience in farming. They competed in such contests as live- stock judging, logrolling, and select- ing meats. They entered contests and events all year long. Two members of FFA were select- ed to attend a Forestry Camp in June. They will spend a week learn- ing about Forestry and all its facets. April brought on two different types of contest. These were in Public Speaking and Parliamentary Procedure. As an annual event FFA members had a Parent-Son Banquet. This year it was combined with the Future Homemakers of America banquet. The menu featured vegeta- bles grown in the FFA garden. John Boatwright fright! and a student from another district school studies the height of trees during the district forestry contest held in Leon County.

VOE Girls Raise Money for Scholarship Selling smile stationery, Tom Watt kits and cookbooks was just about enough for the Vocational Of- fice Education girls to do. They also held car washes and bake sales. The money was used to give a scholarship to the most active member and a banquet for the club. There were two different VOE class- es held everyday. Nlrs. lVlobley was the teacher of the three hour block held in the mornings and lVlrs. Brown was the teacher of the two hour after- noon block. During the Christmas holidays VOE girls had a covered dish supper at the First Baptist Church. Susan Beyer was the only contestant who won in the FBLA district con- test. She won third in the speaking contest and went to Fort Lauderdale to compete in the state contest. 106 As part of her training in Vocational Office Education, senior Susan Sanders gets practice in using an adding machine during her VOE class block.
