? gk FUTURE HUFIIEIIIHHERS UF FIIUERIEFI ln the fall of '55 when we entered our new building. we kind ol rattled around in some areas. Among these were the living room and the grooming area in the Homemaking Department. lt was the F.H..X. that set about innnediately to do something about this. At most all the football games you would find these -energetic girls busy selling school colors For both A.H.S. and the opposing school. lt wasn't too long before furniture began arriving, and along with it came wide expanses ol' mirrors. There were dressing tables lor the grooming area and comfortable, modern sofas and chairs lor the living room. Each year the club sends delegates to the state convention, and the incoming presi- dent attends a leadership camp. The goals of the organiza- tion are to develop leadership among high school girls, and to promote interest in the Held of home and family living. Mrs. Rudeseal and Mrs. Sager are sponsors. FUTURE TEHEHERS UF HIUERIEH In the classrooms of today you will find the teachers of tomorrow. Through training and preparation, they are planning to help educate the next generation. The F.T.A. Club is made up of students who have decided upon teach- ing as a life work. Occasionally during the year, outstand- ing leaders in the Field of education have spoken to the Future Teachers concerning the opportunities in the teach- ing profession. Students have learned of the definite need for additional teachers, and they understand that while there is no great material compensation, the satisfaction to be gained from teaching is in itself a reward. They know, too, that on them will rest a great responsibility, the responsibility for molding young lives, and they are prepar- ing themselves to assume this responsibility. Our chapter at Avondale is named for one of our own teachers, Katharine S. Rudeseal, and is sponsored by Mrs. Mason.
