The Future Homemakers of America is the national organization of pupils studying homemaking in junior and sen- ior high schools of the United States and territories. It was founded June 11, 1945, and is an incorporated non- profit youth organization. There are eight specific purposes of the organization. 1. To promote a growing apprecia- tion of the joys and satisfaction of homemaking. 2. To emphasize the importance of worthy home membership. 3. To encourage democracy in home and community life. 4. To work for good home and fam- ily life for all. 5. To promote international good will. 6. To foster the development of cre- ative leadership in home and commun- ity life. 7. To provide wholesome, individual and group recreation. 8. To further interest in home eco- nomics. Our local club, led by Mrs. Donald Starbird, is planning meetings, such as a mother and daughter banquet, a social hour, and an amateur program. We want to do our best this year in furth- ering our organization.

58 THE CHRONICLE F SENIOR PLAY First Row4M. Doiron, B. Hall, N. Nutting, M. Hammond. Second RowYL. Murch, D. Polland, C. Trask, J. Hicks, K. Bailey. The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, was presented by the Senior Class on November 30 at the Association Hall. Mr. Keith Cunning- ham was the director. The plot portrayed the trials of a fam- ily that had difliculty in finding their relatives. The resulting mix-up of re- lations, friends and Sweethearts gave the audience three acts of amusing com- edy that featured the Bunberrying ex- periences of Kent, the mistaken identity of John, the confusion of Marie and Beverly, and the constant disapproval of Marian. The nineteenth century English gar- den, with furniture made by the shop boys, was a fitting background for the old fashioned costumes that townspeople so generously loaned.
