een -boppers provi- S125 donation to fund Imagining themselves as '50's high school 'teeny-boppers,' students unknowingly donated 35.50 each, or S125 together to the J P Dabbs Mem- orial Fund to enter the January Sock Hop sponsored by the Future Teach- ers of America. Established by Mrs. J P Dabbs, the fund will be awarded each year to a graduate who plans to pursue a career in education. Distinguishing junior Angela Blair and senior Rich Berger as the best dressed girl and boy, each was awarded a tee shirt labeled Miss Teen Angel and The Fonz, respectively. Winners of the seat races and the Bubble Gum-Blowing Contest received free drinks and candy. Ten members attended the state convention held in San Antonio in Feb- ruary with the advisers, Mr. Don Edwards and Mrs. Adena Lewis. Fresh- man Terri Suiter, sophomores Scott Davis, Melody Holliman, Michelle Newton, junior Denise Brown and seniors Tammy Suiter, Rusty Holmes, Teresa Pattison, Keith Klecka and Jo Carroll were chosen by the advisers on the basis of attendance at meetings, contributions as committee mem- bers, reliability, willingness to serve and merits earned. Welcomed by Lila Cockrell, mayor of San Antonio, delegates attended district meetings, workshops, a question and answer forum and the House of Delegates Annual Awards Assembly. Placing in the top 10, the scrapbook merited a trophy which Teresa Pattison, who compiled the book, got to keep. Assisting teachers in their professional responsibilities, participants in the Teacher Experience Program get an early idea of what a career in edu- cation can involve. All being FTA members, 28 seniors in the first quarter, 25 in the second and 15 in the third were assigned to elementaries and junior highs near their homes after receiving a recommendation from the counselor, displaying a good attendance and disciplinary record and pass- ing a group interview with Mr. Edwards. Participants learn gradually by first observing and doing clerical work and then obtaining more responsi- bilities concerning the children. Presented with long stemmed carnations at the May banquet held at Reed's Bakery, next year's officers were installed by Mrs. Norma Mintor, president of the Deer Park Education Association. A. Answering second grader Brenda Lee's questions as she reads from their assigned book, The Curbstone Dragon senior Peggy Velazquez also spends time supervising reading groups and grading papers at Parkwood Elementary. B. Help- ing Dale Levy distinguish colors, senior Terri Heinze participates in TEP for her second quarter as an assistant teacher in Mrs. Pam Gramley's special education Hass at Deepwater Elementary. C. With all ballots for the election of next year's officers turned in, Mr. Edwards collects 55.50 each from members who plan to attend the May banquet held at Reed's Bakery. D. Selecting a Beach Boys album from the group of records brought by various members, junior Diana Bean assists the official music man, senior Kevin Bailey, in providing music for the Sock Hop. E. Planning to be an art teacher, senior Ricia Northam shows sixth grader Roxanne Riley how to glaze pottery in Mrs. Juanita Cook's art class at Deepwater Junior High. F. Stationed at the door of the January Sock Hop held in the Boy's 'M' Gym, sophomore Scott Davis collects the 5.50 admission charge from juniors Diane Pro- chazka, Lori Fultz and Pam Wise. Total profits were donated to the J P Dabbs Memorial Fund. G. Senior Tammy Suiter presents a S125 check to Mr. Harold Dud- ley, president of Allied Deer Park Bank. Raised by holding the Sock Hop, the money was donated to the J P Dabbs Memorial Fund established by Mrs. Dabbs to be awarded to a graduating senior who plans to pursue a career in education.
