Advisor The FHA is a National organization of pupils studying homemaking in junior and senior high schools of the United States and territories. The pur- poses of the organization are to develop social qualities and promote better home life for its members and their families. A Home Economics class was first organized at Stephens City in the year 1925 under the direction of Mrs. C. C. Rhodes who devoted 20 years of untir- ing effort to the building of the Home Economics Department and to the wel- fare of the entire system. Due to lack of space at the Stephens City School, classes were held in the basement of the bank building for 3 years. The cottage at the high school was first used in the fall of 1928 and has been an important part of the school system since that time. Mrs. Rhodes continued as instructor at Stephens City through the ses- sion 1944-45 and saw the department grow under her direction from a small group of 16 girls to a club enrollment of 79. A number of instructors have succeeded Mrs. Rhodes including Mrs. Crocker in 1945-46, Mrs. Rinker from 1946 through 1948, Mrs. Devers in 1948-49, and Miss Mary Rudasill in the current session.

Among their many projects for this year have been the initiation of new members, operation of snack bar to raise money, sending sewing equipment to German students, serving a luncheon to the Lions' Club and the preparation of exhibits for the county fair at which the Stephens City High School girls have always made an excellent showing.
