F.T.A. Explores the Academic Industrious Beachwood students united in an organization whose chief purpose is to acquaint and familiarize themselves and others to the Opportunities, advantages and needs of the teaching profession. This was the newly founded ARISTOTLE chapter of the Future Teachers of America. As early as November, members inspired by Mrs. Mary Fording, demonstrated their eagerness to establish themselves with their first function, a get-acquainted tea during which prospective members were introdu ced to F,T.A. Plans for the 1963-64 school year included films, slides, and speakers, all of which dealt with the subject of education from the teacher's point of view, and joint meetings with the F,T.A.'s of other schools, It is through the Future Teachers of America that students were encouraged to pursue their individual interests and careers. The Future Teachers of America inducted their officers with a moving ceremony and a well-planned, well- attended tea. FUTU RE TEAC HERS OF AMER | CA.

N.H.S. Guides College Planning Gloria Colb and Judy Liff display the equipment used in showing college films. In high schools all over America, the Na- tional Honor Society symbolizes high standards of Character, Leadership, Service and Scholar- ship. Members give of their time to serve the school according to the motto of the organiza- tion, Noblesse Oblige, meaning that leader- ship carries with it obligations. N.H.S. added to its program this year by admitting provisional members. These juniors participated in all N.H.S, activities, and upon their confirmation in the spring, received their National Honor Society pins. With the guidance of Dr. Joseph Ruben, this service organization concentrated its efforts on informing college-bound students, sponsoring College Night, and an informal college con- ference of alumni. Filmstrips of various colleges were shown, and the N.H.S, bulletin board dis- played scholarship information. With these and other projects, the National Honor Society continued to serve Beachwood.

Advisor, Mrs. Carole Magden, sympathises with a bewildered typist. The 1964 Oculus staff has a modest announcement to make: we are proud of our yearbook! Sometimes it was dull writing copy, time-wasting to take pictures, impossible to create fresh lay-outs. But now we are through. We are relaxed and we are relieved. We are depleted. We are happy. Our staff included both unconventional and practical people who, all and each, loudly proclaimed the correct style and content of THE YEARBOOK. We were adaptable, emotional and diligent. We ask you: read this, the culmination of our whims, in- spirations, and efforts. Some of the copy is dull; our writers were not omniscient. Some of the pictures are blurry; our photographers were not omnipotent. Some of the captions are questionable; our overseers were not omnipresent. But most of it is interesting; some of it hilarious; and all of it reflects the personality of Beachwood 1963-1964. 54
