After this work came more work. Members began the year discussing plans for a float which they made for the Homecoming Parade. Their discussions resulted in a product which won second place in the event Nov. 8. Their next activity was attending the District FHA meeting across town with Florida High School's chapter as hostess. The Rickards chapter had the responsibility of putting on a relaxer to spark the meeting. For Christmas girls sold napkins with colorful Christ- mas decorations on them. The project began in mid- November. Proceeds went into the treasury to send dele- gates to the State Convention held in Pensacola. A The girls also conducted bake sales to raise convention funds, and each girl also had a kit which contained household goods they sold. The annual FHA fashion show assembly was staged by Gayfer's in March with Gayfer's Teen Board and other students as models.

FFA Chapter Stays Active with Contests Future Farmers of America attended many conven- tions and competed in many contests in the past. This year wasn't any different. The boys, under the direction of Mr. jim Meeks and Mr. George Brown, remained active in these areas. Members started their busy year with an exhibit in the annual North Florida Fair in October. The chapter ex- hibit was awarded a red ribbon. Chapter members also entered hogs in the hog exhibition at the fair. February took the boys to the State Livestock judging contest at the Florida State Fair in Tampa. The Rick- ards team judged livestock by methods they learned. The end of March brought the annual Leadership Con- ference which members of the chapter attended. The boys learned about the importance of leadership and the fundamental principles of being a good leader. As Future Farmers had done in past years, members again held their annual Parent-Son Banquet near the end of the school year. The boys showed the results of what they had learned by serving the food they had grown during the school year at the banquet. After school ended, Future Farmers looked forward still to meeting and working. They were to attend the State Future Farmers of America convention, a week after school, in Daytona Beach.

VOE members attended the Future Business Leaders of America district meeting and contest which were held before Christmas and the state meeting in the spring. The club was actually an organization of senior students in vocational office education classes. ln class the girls, selected for their interest in office work, were taught such skills as typing, filing, using adding, dupli- cating and transcribing machines.
