lor the luture Molly Riley, Sandra Zeigler, Linda Stroman, and India Smoak whip up a batch of cookies. Lois Crider and Susan Mclver enjoy cooking during Home Economics. This year the Future Homemakers of America has 42 active members. With Miss Herndon's help, the girls sold doughnuts and Stanley products to raise money for the Mother-Daughter Banquet, summer camp, and parties. The first big event the members enjoyed this year was the State Fair and State meeting in Columbia. New members were welcomed into the club with an initiation party in September. The Mother-Daughter Banquet honoring the F. H. A. mothers was a great success this year. The F. H. A. members attended bi-county and district meetings. In December, the Bi-County meeting was held in St. Matthews with over 200 members attending. Last June, the president, Dorothv Zeigler, attended the state convention at Winthrop. All the F. H. A. members have been working hard to make their club one of the best. They are all striving for the motto Toward New Horizons. Miss Herndon shows Linda Callahan, Dianne Crider, and Patsy Lowder good sewing techniques. St. Matthews served as host to the Bi-County FHA meeting. 21

Agricultural Opportunities prepare shrubbery cuttings for bed. The F. F. A. is a national organization striving to promote agriculture and agricultural related occupations. The Chapter has 38 mem- bers, which is an increase over last year's 28. For the past several years the St. Matthews Chapter has had many projects. These have in- cluded a plant hotbed, rooting bed, and a plant nursery. The Chapter also operates a conces- sion stand at home football games. This en- ables the boys participating to gain practical experience and to raise funds for the Chapter at the same time. From these funds, in the past year, the Chapter has bought a pickup which it has re- painted and for which a covered body has been constructed. The boys also participated in area dairy-and livestock-judging contests. Both teams won in the Calhoun-Richland Federation and repre- sented the federation in the state judging con- test. In addition to these, some of the boys are raising pigs and calves for the Fatstock Show and Sale. Several boys hope to attend F. F. A. camp this summer and later on to attend the State F. F. A. Convention to be held in the fall. Boys get cuttings from shrubbery. Sammie Reid is shown admiring his FFA project, white Pekin ducks. Johnny Millender shows a Chester white sow that he has raised for an FFA project. 23
