You didn’t have to want to be a homemaker to take Home Ec. or to join Future Homemakers. Being involved in FHA prepared a stu- dent for the many challenges that life has to offer. FHA offered its service to other organizations at CHS. Many ban- quets were a delicious success with a little extra help from FHA. The members of FHA were very gracious with helping to prepare and serve the food. The FHA tried as often as they could to make the school and the faculty to feel important. Any leftovers in the Home Ec. room were usually distributed to all the faculty. FHA also taught you to make your own clothes and save money. FHA was a good class to take for whatever your career choice might be. You can t hook the sleeve to the bottom of the shirt! Mrs Brown helps Lisa Carter get her shirt straight.
