GALLEY '7. .:4. The Senior F. H. A. went Sailing Over the Bounding Maine during '49 and '50 under the expert sponsorship of Mrs. Blake. An organization meeting at which the Senior F. H. A. served refreshments to the Junior F. H. A. was held in September. The year's activities were also planned at this meeting. During October, a progressive Initiation Party for new members took place. In November both clubs observed National F. H. A. Week by going to church, preparing a family meal, planting a red rose on the school grounds, sponsoring an assembly program, having a window display, and sponsoring a bake sale on Saturday. The event which ended the week was the Blue Jean Party. All members wore red and white ribbons during' that week. Our main activity in December was the Christmas Formal Dance. Post graduates told of their job experiences at the night meeting in January. A combined party of the F. F. A. and F. H. A. was held in January. Our dads. were honored at a night meeting in March and the speaker was Bob Burnes, writer of The Bench Warmer, a column in the Globe Democrat. During April we entertained our mothers .and made Easter favors for the Red Bud Hospital. Elections and installations of new officers took place in May. Although our program was quite extensive, we still found time and money to make scrapbooks for the Children's Orphan Home, and to donate to the Red Cross, Polio and Cancer drives. ,Q-av'
