FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERIC'A
The fall of 1967 revealed a cluster of interested girls intent on forming a new organization at Rossville High School; the Future Homemakers
of America. Much of the organization of FHA is conducted by high school
girls who are officers of the district, state, and national associations,
thus providing more opportunities for girls to develop leadership qualities and qualities of good citizens.

The cast rollicked across the
stage in probably the most suecessful play ever presented .at
RHS.
"No Mother to Guide Her; or •
More to be Pitied Than Censored"
was presented on March 29 to an
appreciative audience. They enthusiastically greeted the villain,
played by Ron Rasch, with hisses
and boos. Catyh Gresser, positively sweet as the heroine, was
"ahh -h- hed" onto the stage at her
every entrance. Doug French
minced along as sweet, darling
Casper, while the audience
cheered at his sugar-coated gems
of virtue. Bill Smith was hilarious
as the henpecked husband of
Marilyn Stach.
