FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Future Teachers Start Coat Check Stand Supporters of the Blue Devils at basketball games found a new service provided for them by the Future Teachers of America. At all home games members operated a coat-check stand, using Room 10 as a storage center for coats and hats. For a fee of ten cents, fans could rid them- selves of hauling bulky winter wraps into the bleachers and be free from the possibility of drop- ping coats through spaces in the stands. Back- to-School Night brought parents to the annual marathon of following students ' schedules. FTA-er ' s helped the PTA serve refreshments to the group weary from rushing to ten-minute classes. The girls prepared a table of goodies for the Culpeper County Education Association in December. Principal Glenn C. Piper spoke to the girls at their November meeting, explaining the responsi- bilities and educational requirements of a school administrator. He also discussed certificates re- quired of teachers and the qualities necessary in a good educator. Using the profits from their coat-check service, the FTA presented a fifty dollar scholarship to an outstanding senior member upon graduation. Teen-age education was the subject of a film- strip shown at the October meeting. Members viewed new techniques used in many other high schools. FRAMING A CONSTITUTION— President Patricia White and adviser Mrs. Malcolm Mitchell place the FTA Constitution under a glass cover. Looking on are Gayle Cassidy, sergeant-at-arms; Jojuan Lawson, vice president; Mary Curtis, treasurer; and Dale Alther, secretary, who helped to revise the document. 26 PRETTY POWERFUL PE RSUASI ON— Future teachers Ellen Eggborn and Gloria Creel convince customers that their coats would be secure in the FTA coat check held in Room 10.

A coaching class, a first- time venture for the club, gave CCHS ' ers a chance to receive aid in their weak subjects. A student requesting coaching placed his name in a box labeled for the particular subject, and a committee assigned a specific time and coach to that student. Under faculty supervision, NHS-ers held regular sessions before school from 8:00 to 8:30 and after school from 3: 1 5 to 4:00. Scooping forty-eight dollars out of the treas- ury, the National Honor Society purchased a blue and gold banner which was displayed during the club ' s assemblies. Veteran members tapped thirty-nine new- comers into the club in a special ceremony in November. Each went out into the student audi- ence, tapped a prospective member, and returned to his seat while both were recognized. After the assembly, a coffee hour in the cafe- teria welcomed the initiates and acquainted their parents with the purposes of the organization.
