To develop more efficient teachers and to prepare members for the profession of teaching are the major goals of the Future Teacher organization. A special goal this years has been for each member to cultivate in herself the qualities of personality and character which are the foundations for successful teaching. With the exception of one year, St. Edward High School has had an active future teacher group since 1928. St. Edward has been a chartered member of the Future Teachers of America since its organization in 1937. Activities of each meeting included a business session, a workshop in which handcrafts were learned, and a social period which included visiting and refreshments. In December a Christmas party with an exchange of gifts was enjoyed. Each month the class decorated the Normal Training Room as a one-room rural school might be arranged. Officers for the year were Evelyn Reardon, president; Jo Ann Swanson, vice-president; Mary Ellis, secretary; Darlene Campain, treasurer; Doris Buck, news reporter; and Mrs. Augusta Anderson, sponsor.
