Here, Becky Quote, Pat Cox, Cathy Clemmer, and Bekki Atkins arrange attractive and tasty treats. Future Teachers were active during the year in school and community. When the Foust School elementary children were here first semester, FTA members went into the classes and helped the teachers. This provided excellent practical ex¬ perience. During National Education Week, club mem¬ bers put cookies in the teachers ' lounge every day for the enjoyment of the faculty. They also col¬ lected for the heart fund as a service project in the community. Guest speakers, who outlined the various voca¬ tional fields in which they were active, made meetings interesting and worthwhile. Even though Mr. Estep counsels many students, he devotes much time and effort to the FTA Club. 122

Science Fair Draws Alchemist Interest Rapidly expanding scientific horizons inspired the Alchemists to investigate many areas of sci¬ ence research. Guest speakers enabled the group to understand many viewpoints in scientific pro¬ cedure. Projects of individual members included a study of crystals and crystal-growing, the effect of rock-and-roll on hamsters, building a solar cell, and construction of a tesla coil. Exciting scientific investigations were learned by all Alchemists on field trips. The members at¬ tended the Engineer ' s Fair at Raleigh and the Science Fair at Wake Forest. The biggest trip of the year was to Oak Ridge, Tennessee to ob¬ serve the nuclear reactor and visit the museum.

Betty Crocker Award Won By Lynne CoItrane Future Homemakers busied themselves with projects that proved their interest in performing the duties of the homemaker. At Christmas, many children at Wesley Long Hospital were made happier when cookies were made for them by the FHA girls. Other community projects included the heart fund and tag day. A beautiful tea was held in honor of all of our teachers. FHA members prepared the food and made decorations which graced the tables. It was an outstanding event of the year. Guest speakers are invited to speak during the year to inform members about all phases of the homemaker ' s life. Lynn Coltrane exhibits her talents as winner of the Betty Crocker Award. FHA members, LaVon Davis and Lynn Johnson, display the three degrees of achievement which every FHA member strives to obtain.
