OMESTIC TRAINING Future Homemakers of America is a club designed to help students become active in society through education in home economics. The club en- courages personal growth, an interest in family life, voca- tional preparation and commu- nity involvement. FHA tries to get its members to develop an interest in home economics, and careers in its related industries. Future Homemakers of America has been in existence at Coronado since the school was started. This year, there are about sixty active members. The only people eligible to enter the club arc those persons enrolled in a homcmaking course or those who have completed a homemaking course. Meetings arc held once a month in each class. There arc officers for each class and once a month these officers get to- gether at lunch to plan activi- ties. Also, officers of each class meet once a month with the offi- cers of other El Paso high schools for a city council meet- ing. At these meetings, partici- pants have an opportunity to plan city-wide activities. Some FIRST ROW: Xavier Alvarez, Silvia Gallegos, Terri Freiberger, Joann Escandon.

MAKING THE GRA The first characteristic you no- tice about the club FTA(Future Teachers of America) is that it con- sists of thirteen members, all of whom arc senior girls. For this rea- son, some members arc concerned about the club’s continuity. “It’s a good club and more people should get involved, said Caroline Manton. The club accomplishes a lot, “Be- cause everyone knows each other, we can work belter. We’re all friends,” said FTA sweetheart Terri Freiberger. In the past, FTA members helped organize the individual pictures and that helped earn some money FTA Sweetheart Terri Freiberger smiles for the camera. for the club. This year’s main goal was to start a teacher of the month project. Chairperson Terri Freiberger planned to draw names of teachers from each de- partment and place their pictures in the display ease. Along with always being available for CHS teachers, the members also make cookies, cakes and other goodies during the various holiday sea- sons. That can really be fun be- cause the teachers appreciate our doing that for them,” Lisa Freib- erger said when asked if she en- joyed helping the teachers. FTA members also do their share of community work. They want to help correct any flaws the community may have. “We write letters to Governor Clements about the new restrictions placed on teachers,” said Judy Paccy. None of the members plan on going into the teaching profes- sion, but all the girls agree that sponsors Mrs. Schcttlcr and Mrs. Helm ling have given them a bet- ter understanding of the work involved in teaching.
