76 Meetings give clubs new ideas . . . These things will I do now that I may be worthy of the high of- fice of teacher. The official pledge of the Future Teachers of America Club tells of the excellence required of teachers. Many FTA members learned this this year through direct experience and from hearing the ex- periences of others. Guest speakers included a student teacher in music, a language teacher from Uruaguay, and a representative from the Laws Foundation which helped educate underprivileged children. Members were also entertained and enlight- ened through their attendance at FTA conferences around the state. Raising money to send to the Na- tional Future Homemakers of America Organization was one of the main projects of the CHS chapter of FHA. The money was used to help set up new national headquarters in the American Home Economics Associa- tion Building in Washington, D.C. One FHA member, Lynna Perry, dis- tinguished our chapter by being cho- sen district recreational leader and attended the Youth Power Conference. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. However this batter contains no eye of newt and toe of frog and FHA member Shelly Williams is no modern Hecate. Shelly ' s work is much easier than He- cate ' s thanks to modern mixers. At an FTA meeting, Mrs. Marta Orr, a na- tive of Uruguay, points out the many differ- ences of education in South and North Ameri- Cookies can be both delicious and profitable as Sheila Fish realizes. She is cooling cookies to be sold for the Christmas Dance.

Maneuvering results in mental toil Should I move my pawn or my knight? Bewildered by Terry Neville ' s last move, Chess club member Nate Oglesbee ponders what to do next. Nate realizes that out-guessing your oppo- nent is an essential part of winning this ancient game. Knights, queens, and kings were very popular this year at CHS with members from four different chess clubs playing at once. Beginners as well as experts belonged to these clubs, which gave those members skilled in this difficult game a chance to show off their vast knowl- edge. Tournaments were continuously held in each club, and there was much competition. Dear Abby isn ' t the only thing people turn to in times of trouble. Many turn to their ministers or simply to the Bible. Yet many have religious problems themselves. The Bible Club, under the new sponsorship of Mr. Larry Askins, tried to help solve them. Members also visited each others ' churches in order to gain a better understanding of religion. What was that again? Bible club president Geneva Gwin appears to be temporarily dis- tracted from the affairs of her club. Jb Complex, complicated, and confusing! That ' s the game of chess. Here, Bruce Vaughn con- templates his next move. 75

FFA visits Kansas; Industrial Arts expands The times they are a ' changing, according to Bob Dylan, and the Fu- ture Farmers were going along with the times. New advances were rapid- ly occurring in agriculture and FFA sponsor Wayne Coy made sure the members learned of them. In addi- tion, the boys were taught how to participate in public meetings and how to sell cooperatively, both of which are essential in the world of today ' s progressive farmer. Did you ever pass through the In- dustrial Arts wing and marvel at all the complicated machinery? To the boys in the Industrial Arts Club, run- ning such machinery was their daily fare. These boys listened eagerly to their sponsors and studied on their own, because, for them, their avoca- tion would soon become their vocation. A closer examination of the table around which the FFA members are standing reveals some of the ideals held sacred by them. Holding the lever at a certain angle adjusts the engine to a certain speed. Rex Elliot finds this a difficult and tedious job. Preparing themselves for tomorrow, the Fu- ture Farmers of America believe strongly in their club. Several club members ore gathered around the various symbols of their club and with their hands over their hearts, are solemnly reciting the FFA Pledge. 77
