The Black and Gold 1975
Future Farmers, Homemakers of America Gain Insight Into Vocations
Some 50 boys of the FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA received horticulture experiences.
They raised cucumber, beans and corn on the agriculture field, reconstructed the green house and made plant racks for it.
An especially interesting project was the construction of a putting green on the Agriculture field. McKinleyites enjoyed golfing.
The Future Farmers of America and the Art department got together and donated potted plants to Ma and Pa's General Store at the Carnival.
They were represented at the Island Conference at Waialua and Waianae High Schools and the Future Farmers of America's State Convention at the Pagoda Hotel.
Ten energetic girls banded together to promote and further activities of the FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA at MHS.
They were especially proud of placing third in over-all competition at an all-island rally at Magic Island on November 16. They were judged on relay racing, cheering, demonstrating school spirit and banner designing. Their first place winning black and gold banner emblazoned with a tiger motif was designed by Deanna Ing and Myra Masaki.
Service projects included canvassing the neighborhood for UNICEF on Halloween, wheeling Kuakini patients through the annual Festival of Trees at the Honolulu International Center, and caroling at Hale Nani senior citizen home at Christmas time.
A need for sewing kits developed (home ec classes were often interrupted for needle and thread) and the FHA came to the rescue by making and distributing them.
Similar to other clubs, FHAers and their adviser Mrs. Nancy Au with the Aloha Ainas helped the carnival by working in the saimin booth.
Finally, interaction with other high school chapters took place at the State Conference, April 4-6 at the Pagoda Hotel.
