Future Homemakers of America The theme for the Rockbridge High FFA of 1980-1981 was “Fathers, Mothers and Others”. This theme was carried out throughout the year through the monthly meetings. New members were initiated in October. This is always a time of excitement as the club grows. The November meeting was based on the topic of raising children. A panel of parents met and discussed their own personal methods of childrearing, their successes and failures. The title of the December meeting was “A Safe Toy Environment”. Several different types of toys were examined and discussed in relation to safety. The club met in February to discuss “Safety in the Home’. Members learned many noteworthy tips to make their homes safe for everyone. Club members enjoyed their March meeting. March was “Healthy Baby Month”, and so the topic of discussion centered around babies. It is sure that the girls received some excellent advice on this subject. The April meeting was an extension of the March meeting, as members talked about teenage views on parenthood. The general consensus was that although babies are cute, you shouldn’t have any until you are in a position to care for them. The major attraction of the FHA year is the annual banquet, at which Junior and Chapter degrees are bestowed upon deserving members. This years banquet held up the tradition of good food and ; fellowship, as old and new members alike gathered balance! is presented with the outstanding FHA award by Mrs. to celebrate a successful year and toast a fruitful future. | WELCOME PARENTS 'U INE FHA PAREN T= MEMBER BANQUET FHA Left to Right — Melanie Walker, Sheila Reid, Rhonda Falls, Susie Eaken, Kim Groah, Connie Sensabaugh, President Rebecca Riley, Mrs. Joan Whitesell 90

Spanish Club The Rockbridge High Spanish Club activity soared after its second year of reorganization. The club, “Los Toros,” named Patti MacGregor President, Patricia Layton Vice President, and Miche lle Carter, Secretary-Treasurer. Los Toros immediately began planning the activities they would have during the 1980-1981 year. The first activity was a sock-hop early in the year to raise money for a Spanish meal. The sock-hop was complete with Spanish tickets and fellowship. Two fine young disc jockies, Scott and Mike, made their break-through into the “big time”. In October, Los Toros held a Spanish Dinner after school for members and special guests. The menu was complete with “Paella valenciana” (chicken, spices and rice), salad, homemade bread, and flan for dessert. Flan is a Spanish pastry. An added extra was the non-alcoholic wine, which provided the diners with that “Spanish feeling”. In spite of all their activities, one major dream still remains in the hearts of all Los Toros — a trip to Mexico! Perhaps through hard work and many hours, future members of the club may realize that dream. | 4} lst — Patricia Layton, Patti MacGregor, Shelley Carter 2nd Row — Donna Pultz, Carole King, Tammy Camper, Martha Moore, Linda Biggs, Amy Snider 3rd Row — John Maass, Ed Maass, Jeff Lawhorne, Mike Bowen, David Pultz, Jossie Hayslett, Missy Fulwider, Alice Cline, Randy Chittum, Mrs. Sandy
