The Future Business Leaders of America is organized to encourage members to participate in worthy undertakings and to establish themselves in a business occupation. The members strive to develop competent, ag¬ gressive business leadership. The club endeavors to strengthen the con¬ fidence of young men and women in themselves and their work. Throughout the school year the Future Business Leaders of America study parliamentary procedures. Participating in regional, state, and national contests, helping needy people, and typing for civic organizations, school clubs, and faculty are a few of the club’s projects. The members of the club work closely with their sponsor club, the Waynesboro Business and Profes¬ sional Woman’s Club. The club has received many coveted honors and positions during the past year. The local chapter won outstanding honors in local, regional, state, and national events. This past year Bonnie Kay Gilbert held the office of State President, and Charlotte Tomes filled the position of Regional Re¬ porter. Bonnie Kay Gilbert also conducted a discussion group at the Nation¬ al Convention in Dallas, Texas, and gave the report for the State of Vir¬ ginia.

The Diversified Occupations Club was organized to supplement the regular class activities and to provide a social outlet for students whose schedule does not permit participation in many other school activities. The members of Diversified Occupations take a regular high school course of study during one half the school day, then work for various merchants or business concerns for the remainder of the day. The purposes of the club are to provide the local employers with better trained employees, to acquaint the businesses of Waynesboro with the program of the high school, and to promote a harmonious relationship between employer and em¬ ployee. Selling Christmas trees and having a bake sale have been the two money raising projects during the year. All the members of the club attended a District and State Convention. The club also had an employee-employer banquet for the members. The local club has gained many excellent achievements in the past. Two club members held state offices, and several of the members won recognition in the contests sponsored by the D. O. State Organization. 16

The Future Teachers of America was organized at Waynesboro High School at the end of the 1955-56 school year. The club tries to familiarize the members with the opportunities offered to teachers. It also gives the club members an opportunity to do practice teaching. The students teach math, English, spelling, history and music from the first to the seventh grades. The students relieve the regular classroom teachers for one hour. The club holds meetings once a month, and planned programs, which are based on teaching as a profes¬ sion, are presented. One of the club’s projects is caring for the children of the P. T. A. members during the Pa¬ rent Teacher Association meetings. The club has held a bake sale to raise money with which to attend the Fu¬ ture Teachers of America Convention in Richmond, Virginia. Sylvia Henkel, Judy Good, and Jo Jordan attend¬ ed the F. T. A. Convention with Miss Jones. 18
