The Future Homemakers of America is an organization of students studying home- making in Salem High School. This organization came into being through the cooperative efforts of youth enrolled in homemaking to foster leadership and promote better home life for the families of America. The Salem chapter consists of 126 active members, the largest in the state of Indiana. Membership is open to any girl who has taken one year of Home Economics. Mrs. Mable Edwards is adviser. Through her efforts our chapter has become well known throughout our home state. The motto of Future Homemakers of America, ''Toward New Horizons,'' expresses the purpose of the organization--learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. This gives us an idea of our American youth and how they are striving to make the future better for all. The red rose is the flower of the organization and red and white are its colors. Plus the many activities in the local club, these girls attend district and state meetings where they take an active part. 38
