Members of the Breckenridge
High School Future Homemakers
of America met Tuesday at the
high school during activity period
for a candlelight installation of
chapter officers for the year with
Beth Grace as the new president.
Jackie Murray was chairman of
the installation which was held at
a table covered in white and cen-
tered with a single red candle to
represent the flame of the FHA
chapter. It was flanked on each
side by four white candles to rep-
resent the eight purposes of home-
making. As each officer of the
chapter took her oath of office she
lighted one of these candles, and
each was presented with a single
red rose corsage, which is the club
flower.
Purposes of the FHA are to pro-
mote a growing appreciation of the
joys and satisfaction of homemak-
ing, to emphasize the importance
of worthy home membership, to
encourage democracy in home and j lene hospital while Mrs. L

"Only a parent who has had a
child in Ward School can appreci-
ate what the annual Halloween,
carnival means to the small stu-
dent," Mrs. R. L. Elliott, president
of the South Ward Mothers' Club,
states. "It is the main Ward
School event of the year; one which,
represents many weeks of plan-
ning and preparing on the part of
teachers, mothers and students."
For example, she explained,
students work for days ahead ol"
time preparing posters advertising;
the event. These posters must,
then be judged by outsiders, suit-
able awards given, and then placed
in agreeable merchants' windows.
Teachers oversee the posters and
prepare for events such as the pup-
pet show, which is done by tho
students. Then, most important,
mothers must prepare the hun-
dreds of pies, cakes, sandwiches,
drinks, grab bag prizes, and with
the help of the fathers, oversee ov
carry out the big events of the iui-
I portant evening, she added.
