FHA Holds Annual Family Night Activities have abounded for the energetic FHAers this year. Money making was the first major necessity of the year. Girls gained money by selling Christmas ornaments and a variety of household items. FHA’s sponsor, Mrs. Rhonda Carritt, and FFIA members were proud of Debbie Peterson when she won first place in the Creed Speaking Contest at District Convention in Fremont. Pleasure also played a role in the year’s activities. Family night was held for the girls' parents. The members prepared the food and helped with the entertainment. Valentine’s Day was not passed by this year as the FHA members picked Valentine sweethearts and during the week just before Valentine’s Day secretly put candy in their locker. Then, to top it all off they had a party and exchanged gifts with their sweethearts. A cake raffle was held at halftime during the Blair basketball game. Each member baked a cake which was then raffled off. Sadie Hawkins was held March 24 with the “Country Dudes” playing. FHA had a very successful year as far as finances and group cooperation went. The future looks bright for WHS’s Future Homemakers of America. DEBBIE PETERSON WON first place in the Creed Speaking contest at District Convention in Fremont. 20
