Vocations FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Sponsored by Mrs. Harriet Lucco, Future Teach- ers of America devoted time to gaining knowledge of the teaching profession. Club activities included frequent talks by teachers and counselors of ele- mentary and secondary schools. Members of FTA also participated in a tutoring program at Turner Elementary School, and assisted teachers at KHS by filing and grading papers during study hall periods. Local junior high schools and elementary schools allowed Future Teachers to spend a portion of the school day observing teaching techniques and procedures. Mehlville Senior High School held the Annual South County Symposium on February 21. Pre- pared for local FTA clubs, the convention offered a program of speakers and a banquet. FTA used club funds to grant its most deserving member a 3200 college scholarship. To supply the treasury for the award, members sold candy, baked goods and KHS stationery, and provided coat- checking service at school dances.

M- 4 rf I f LITTLE THEATRE In an unprecedented effort to encourage the art of drama at Kirkwood, Thespians awarded a 3100 prize to the outstanding actor for the 1967-68 school year. Membership in Thespians, the honor society for high school drama enthusiasts, was limited to those Little Theatre members who earned one hundred participation points. For those stu- dents who regularly attended Little Theatre meet- ings, contributed most to the fall and spring plays, and thus earned five hundred points, the status of Honor Thespian was accorded. Other Thespian ac- tivities included attending a state drama conference at Webster College and the presentation of a duet acting team from Kirkwood at this same meeting. Little Theatre, open to those students who earned at least twenty participation points, presented the fall play, Blithe Spirit, under the direction of Mr. Nolan Hansen. ln March, Little Theatre produced two one-act plays, uHe Ain't Done Right by Nelli' and GA Dream. Presented in the cafeteria, the decor and refreshments maintained the melodra- matic atmosphere of the student-directed theatricals. Fittingly, the Little Theatre members closed the yearis activities by going as a group to a profes- sional performance at the Loretto-Hilton Theatre.
