Promotes Business Leadership Purposes of the Future Business Leaders of America are to develop competent business leadership, strengthen the confidence of young men and women in themselves and their work, create interest and understanding in the choice of business occupations, and develop character and training for these occupations. To promote these purposes, Wasson High F.B.L.A. club members invited speakers representing fields of busi- ness, such as real estate, marketing, secretarial work, book- keeping, and accounting.

A Thanksgiving basket was prepared by the Home- makers as a service project for a needy family in the area. This basket, consisting of food donated by the members and meat purchased with chapter funds, formed a com- plete Thanksgiving dinner suited to the needs of individual members of the family. The name of a family was chosen for the club by the Salvation Army on the basis of need. Wasson Homemakers, under the guidance of Miss Mary Lee Hicks and Mrs. Mary Hargrove, performed many other services, such as mending football uniforms and selling doughnuts during final week. They also sold doughnuts and Carmel-covered apples at their Home- coming booth. Homemakers treated themselves to dinner at a local restaurant for the purpose of improving social etiquette as well as providing entertainment. Preparing a complete dinner for their mothers gave the members a chance to plan a complete dinner and provide entertainment also.

TABLE TOPS CLUTTERED with solios, index cards, copy, blow-ups, and glue, staff members struggle to meet the March 16 deadline. ADDING TO THE SOUNDS of Only three days until deadline and Who took my pictures? Gail Elliott types captions to be sent to local typesetter. ,190 I964 Wahian Presents Portrait Emphasis on The Many Faces of Wasson enabled editor Art Wright and assistant editor Karren Cogburn to capture the varied moods of student body and faculty. The aim of the 1964 Wahian was to represent all facets of school life. Staff members strove to use large, dynamic pictures in co-ordination with a continued design motif on division pages. Advisor Mr. Robert Hill aided each sec- tion through his suggestions and encouragement to pro- duce the best possible edition. The ever-present deadlines were sufficient to induce the Wahian staff into action as soon as several weeks' orientation was complete. Each section editor then set preliminary deadlines for all copy and pictures, and as- sisted the new staff members. Student photographers under the direction of Mr. G. Roldan were credited for ninety-five per cent of the pictures taken. As the final pages were sent for lithographing at -the American Yearbook Company in Topeka, Kansas, staff members breathed a sigh of relief. With job summaries and theme suggestions turned in, work on the 1965 edi- tion began in earnest.
