A Review of FHA
Trip to \leigs
Early Saturday morning a group
of P°rry Future Homemakers of
America set out for Meigs, a small
town in South Georgia.
Those going were Marlene Liv
ingston, Betty Lou Douglas, Jane
Bossier, Elsie Peavy, Frances
Browning, Ann Boterweg, Peggy
Pyles, Sarah Howard and Joyce
Bridges. They were accompanied
by Miss Sarah Lewis, Perry FHA
sponsor.
The first stop was made by “Mr.
Turtle.” which caused Joyce Brid
ges to back half the distance from
Moultrie to Sylvester. In Moultrie
our safari was delayed about an
hour by a parade. We might have
enjoyed the parade hut we were
only ten blocks.
We made our way over rough
highways, broken down bridges,
and desolate swamplands. Finally
we reached Meigs.
On our first impression we all
became extremely interested in
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural
College (especially Jane). We won
der why?
The program was one of the
most interesting we i tve had since
the organization of FHA several
years ago.
At lunch we met a number of |
people from other schools. Of'
course, we couldn’t possibly get j
around to meeting everyone be-!
cause there were 1400 people pres- 1
i ent. Only a few boys attended but
you may be sure they were well |
taken care of long before the Perry
girls arrived. You may be sure that
the Perry will be “in” Meigs at 8 ,
o’clock instead of “leaving” for
Meigs at eight. Next time they
will get their bid in for the "home
making men.”
After we had consumed enough
food to last a normal person two : !
days, we then returned to the audi- !
torium for the remainder of the !
program. 1
Miss Lewis was very much de
| lighted that her sister, Mrs. Ralph
Gainey of Cairo, came up to hear
Jane Rossier sing. Jane chose as
her selection for the talent show
Carmen Waltz” by Lane Wilson j
and was accompanied by Ann Bot
erweg. Incidentally, Jane was the
only one who received requests
from the audience to sing again.
At 3:30 we started home and the ■
next town was Pelham. We stopped
and had olives and chocolate malt- ,

eds. The boy waiting on us was
very considerate; he brought out
j two large pitchers of ice water,
j Several signs of ice cream and
j various other treats tempted us but
; we withstood temptation until we
j reached Americus, when we throt
| tied down to stop. Ice cream and
cokes were very popular along
with an extremely handsom; young
man. Elsie muttered under her
breath, “Where have you been all
my life?” Woe befell Elsie because
the fellow heard her. He looked as
though someone had stuck a pin
in him.
At last a very beautiful full
moon, that reminded us all of
nights last summer appeared and
by this time we were back in Perry
with memories of an unforgettable
day.

Ability
Whether you win or whether you
lose
Is not what’s most effective.
But whether you do the best you
can
That is the prime objective.
It matters not how hard the task,
Or what its cost may be;
Your best is the only positive
Os your ability.
So for yourself, set higher gials;
Strive on until they’re won.
And dauntless let your spirit be.
To finish whpt you’ve begun.
