N A A T Latin Club To enjoy companionship among members and to understand the language better is the purpose of the Latin Club, which was organized in the spring of l92O-2l. Alice Fryer is president of the club, and has charge of regular weekly meet- injs. Latin is one of the most important langu- owes, as it is the foundation of many others. T e Latin Club realizes this tact, and do all they can to bring better understanding between the ancient lite of the Romans and the modern lite of tcday. The organization is sponsored by Miss Bonna Miller, who advises the members on things of interest to the club. Members are taken in at the beginning cf each semester, and the new members are obliged to present the weekly pro- gram. Any poem, song or ploy may constitute the program, it it has bearing on the Latin lon- guage. These students have formed a club so 'rn that they may enjoy their subject more and be First row left to right: Betty June Russell, vice-president, better prepared to use it in the future.

p Future Teachers of America The Future Teachers of America is one of Centra1's newest and most worth-while organizations. 1940 being only its second year in the school, it already has a membership of 20 boys and girls. Preparing young people to be teachers is the objective of the club, although all the members are not planning to be teachers, for they believe they will profit by the or- ganization, since a better understanding is brought between the pupil and teacher. The F. T. A. is a national organization, and Muskogee chapter was one of the first in Oklahoma. Mr. J. R. Holmes, superintendent of Muskogee City schools is president of the state organization this year, and Hoy Bohanon is state student president. The work of the club is mainly concerned with promoting other chapters in the state. Letters have been issued through- out the district encouraging other schools to form chapters. A program initiating the members into the club was presented this year, and each member gave a brief talk on the club before accepting a red carnation, the flower of the Muskogee chap- ter. Miss Bessie M. Huff is sponsor ofthe organization and is giving ,all the help they will need to become the Future Teachers of America. . ,f . Upper left officers of-the F. T.
