F. Sharp. Others who appeared
on the program Friday were:
DCT Students Jimmy Ray, David
Joyner and Elizabeth Hodges;
H. V. Johnson and C. N, Craw
ford representing the employers;
Bob Arrington and Albert Long
of the Vocational School; Mark
Davis, Assistant State Supervisor
of Industry and Trade; and Rev.
Charles Moody, pastor of the
County Line Baptist Church.
Mr. Cooper’s speech was most
timely to the members of the
local DCT program. His sub
ject was “Leadership.” He gave
the criteria for both employees
and employer in “leadership.”
Mr. Cooper enumerated some
11 qualities of a preferred em
ployee in regards to leadership
in school and also on the job.
Mr. Davis gave some inter
esting background history of the
DCT program in Newton County
since 1951. He was the first
DCT Coordinator at NCHS and
made such an outstanding record
with the program here that he
was promoted to a most respon
sible position with State DCT
activity.
Davis stated that “the first
year we had DCT here there
were 17 people at our annual
banquet at the old Delaney Hotel.
Dr. M. D. Collins was our main
speaker. Mr. Sharp and Supt.
E. L. Ficquett and the late Miss
Clara Mae Hays were among
those 17 at the 1951 banquet.”
Mr. Arrington presented
awards to three DCT students
for their outstanding participa
tion in the District DCT con
tests held recently at Marietta.
Miss Teresa Martin was not pre
sent to receive her first place
award for District Job Manual in
Area Contest (cosmetology).
Those who received awards Fri
day were David Joyner, a local
contest winner; and Jimmy Ray,
second in district speech con
test.

The D. C. T. Club had two
members to represent them in
the district and area in the Cos

Shannon went along as her model.
They were successful in winning
first place for the district and
first place for the area. Now
they will represent the club in
the State Contest on April 19,
20 and 21 at the D. C. T. State

from all over the state. From
this contest the winner will re

Last Thursday at the 10th Dis
trict Eliminations in Conyers
Teresa Martin won second place
in the Job Interview Contest and
an excellent rating on the Job
Manual Contest. Jimmy Ray won
an excellent rating in the Speech
Contest.
Jimmy, Teresa and Judy are
to be commended for their fine
representation of the Newton
County D. C. T. Club.
Newton FHA Has Been Busy
“The Newton FHA Chapter has
been very busy recently. Other
than a hard week’s work during
National FHA Week we have spon
sored several additional pro
jects,” a spokesman for the or
ganization stated.
On March 22 we served ap
proximately 350 guests at the
annual Fans Appreciation Bas
ketball Banquet. This was one
of the largest groups we had
ever served. This was our March
school project and some of the
Covington FHA’ers helped us.
During March we made four
dozen Ditty Bags to be distri
buted by the Red Cross to the
boys in Viet Nam. This was
a most-worthwhile community
project.
Caroline Johnston, state pro
jects chairman, has displayed
our second state project for the
year. It is “Jobs, Careers,
and You.” The display is locat
ed between the Home Economics
rooms and features the many
careers available to young peo
ple.
On March 30th nine members
plus the Advisor journeyed to
Newnan, for the annual District
IV spring meeting. It proved to
be a very Informative and en
tertaining program. New dis
trict officers were elected. The
highlight of the program was the
address given by Rev. Robert
T. Bogott, Jr. of the First Bap
tist Church of Newnan.
On April 5 the Newton and Cov
ington FHA members served the
DCT Employer-Employee Ban
quet in the cafeteria.
Some of the Newton FHA’ers
and Home Economics students
constructed a felt banner 20* x3*
for our band to use at the Fes
tival in Washington, D.C. It
was a royal blue background
with white 10” letters reading:
Newton County High School Blue
Rambler Band. Smaller letters
featured our city and state, Cov
ington, Georgia.
Our community and school pro
jects for April was the obser
vance of National FHA week.
Each day we featured a special
school and community project.
Many of these projects included
projects done by the members
for their families.
Wednesday, April 3 was our
regular club meeting. Usual
business was discussed and re
ports were given by the officers.
Officers for the 1968-69 school
year were nominated. Our club
voted 100% to merge with the
Covington FHA next year. We
believe this Is one of the great
est evidences of progress for
our club during this year of
work. The speaker was Mrs.
R. M. Paty who talked about
the Mental Health program In
During January Georgia’s hog
slaughter totaled 166,000 head.
This was six percent above the
157,000 head slaughtered during
the same month last year, ac
cording to State Crop Reporting
Service.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
