ONE YEAR OF HOME FOR F.H.A. One year of F.H.A. was the require- ment for membership in the Future Homemakers of America. Having met this requirement the girls endeavored to fulfill the clubs purpose: to create interest in human relations within the school and community. The club's planned agenda began by entertaining the parents at the in- stallation service. The year was dotted with bake sales and selling cook books as money making projects. A visit to V.E.P.C.O. proved to be a highlight of the year. The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet wound up the club's activities, and put the spotlight on each mother. Members of F.H.A. devoutly lower m their eyes in prayer during the induc- tion of officers. 106 ECONOMICS REQUIREMENT First row: Debbie Porterereporter, Shelia Brown, Donna Rose-song- leader, Sarah Ensley, Joyce Davidson, Connie Bell-songleader, Mrs. Toddesponsor.

Mr. Frost took them to Chucka- tuck in April, so that the members could complete their study of Miocene fossils. They ended the year on a high note in discovering the effect of radi- ation on plant growth. Throughout the year there were lec- tures given by guest speakers and the students.

Back Row: Patsy Wil- liams, Phyllis McDole, Libby Vance, Debbie Jones. We want to stand out as c dif- ferent group. You know, be seperate and not classified with the Junior High girls. Everything else is new, so why not a new club? This phrase was quite typical of how the older girls taking Home Ec. thought about being with the Junior High girls in FHA. As a result of this feeling the other girls decided to break away and make their own club. After much debating, the girls finally decided that the name Senior FHA would be appropriate. Al- though Senior FHA was a small group, it did not hinder its activities. Many long hours were devoted to a local nursing home in Portsmouth. Some of its other activities were: PJ parties, bazaars, bake-sales, and a Mother- Daughter Banquet. Every little bit helps, thinks Sheryl Williams, Secretary-Treosurer. 107
