GAIL GOLDEN, Grade 4 (bottom right). F.T.A. enjoys an active year The purpose of F.T.A. is to give prospective teachers a more thorough understanding of a teacher’s function. It offers a preview of what will be expected of them and suggests ways of helping to make their teaching careers successful and rewarding. Their activities center around meetings of the Capital Area F.T.A. and the regional conference at Binghamton. At the C.A.F.T.A. meetings the students listen to lectures given by new teachers and discuss their own schools and teachers with area students. At the regional conference, the group meets foreign exchange students visiting other schools and discusses their opinions of our country and the differences between schools. In order to finance these trips the F.T.A. sold refreshments at soccer and basketball games.

MRS. ANN LAPINSKI: English, Social Studies They deserve our admiration Junior high teachers are versatile and well-informed, as they are sometimes required to teach as many as four different subjects. While being expected to answer any questions directed to them, they must at the same time guide their students toward a successful start in high school. Teachers who supervise work study groups, remedial reading, and ungraded study must be unusually dedicated, patient, and understanding. While they sometimes meet with disappointment, more often they find their work highly rewarding. 27
