FTA ' Club Acquires Interest But Loses Observations A notable, increased interest was aroused by the stu- dents who joined FTA during the school year. Miss Lilah Estrem, adviser, stated that membership advanced from six to twenty, which created an opportunity for more and better activities to be planned. She said it would take time, though, before the club could pull itself up again. The greatest change for the cIub's schedule was the inability to observe elementary classrooms at Lincoln, usually the main project. A unique event was the evening potluck dinner, mak- ing it possible for members using the buses to attend some of the meetings. The programs included a panel of If teachers, a FTA State Board member speaking, and the Spring Tea. ALEA again offered its scholarship to the most out- standing FTA senior to use in continuing his education to attain his career. CHRISTMAS BRINGS many good things, among them are parties and delicious refreshments. 178 - Organizations
