Repre entatives of Pan-Am Visit Austin A love for fun, an interest in Latin America, and a genuine concern for underprivileged American bro- thers is characteristic of Paschal's Pan-American Club. They held an annual Christmas banquet, and planned a fiesta with Southwest High School for April. To satisfy the members' interest in Latin America, Professor Romanenghi of TCU lectured. To help our southern neighbors, the Pan-Am Club made contributions to a fund to help build schools and roads in Peru. The club was also an active member of state and local Pan-American organizations. The officers attended the 25th annual state convention in Austin from March 28-30, and members also went to Dallas for a meeting of the Dallas-Fort Worth district council of the Pan-American Student Forum. s-T13 M l,,.. , , 'N-37- Professor Romanenghi, a representative of the Spanish department of T.

Janine muse over the possibility of teaching with handsome Watson, Nancy Maples, Ann Barrett, and Sallie Kellner teachers like Mr. Mann during their teaching careers. Future Teachers Attend FTA Convention The Future Teachers Club, sponsored this year by Mrs. Thelma Gebhard and Mr. Bill Mann, strives to interest pupils in careers in teaching. This year the club sponsored many activities to this end. Two guest speakers were highlights of the club pro- gram. Mrs. Carol Chappell, speech and English tea- cher at Paschal, spoke to the members about her personal experiences as a teacher. Another guest speaker was Miss Millicent Keeble, whose wide ex- perience as an instructor has moved her into a po- sition as professor ot elementary education at Tex- as Christian University. Traveling to conventions, the Paschal FTA met with representatives ot other high school FTA clubs. Interested Panther members went to T.C.U. in November tor the district conven- tion and to Dallas in February for the state meet- ing. Another profitable journey took Paschal's tea- chers ot tomorrow to Mineral Wells for on inter- club workshop. While the conventions and outside speakers were the high points of the FTA program, much important work was carried out at the regular bimonthly meetings. At the end ot the year, FTA members had learned much about the myriad oppor- tunities and responsibilities of a teaching career. Mr. Bill Mann, SPONSOR, Nancy Maples, Publications Supervisor, Sallie Kellner, Ist Vice-President, Ruth Kirkpatrick, 2nd Vice-President, Mrs. Thelma Gebhaird, SPONSOR, Anne Echols, Secretary, Connie Brewer, Treasurer, Janine Watson, Pres- idenl, comprise the officers and sponsors of the Future Teachers of America club.
