FUTURE TEACHERS The Future Teachers of America is a national organization and the official name of the Deming Chapter is The J. Cloyd Miller F.T.A. Club. It was ,named for Mr. Miller who was superintendent of schools at the time it was founded. Its colors are red, white and black and itis represented by an official symbol, a shield bearing a torch with a red flame. The purposes of the F.T.A. are to encourage the interest of students in a possible teaching career and to acquaint them with the opportunities it presents. At meetings, skits were given, reports presented and occasionally members heard a guest speaker. One guest was Mrs. Gahagan who talked to the club in January. During the year the F.T.A. carried out many activities. Annually a book on teach- ing is purchased and presented to the D.H.S. library. A special assembly is given in April honoring all teachers. It is also a duty of the F.T.A. to assist at open-house and to serve as guides.
