F TA Care s About Tomorrow FTA stood for more than Future Teachers of America. lt stood for hard working, dedicated young peo- ple who proved themselves worthy. New sponsor Mrs. Laura Higgins stepped in and hit the ground run- ning. The club had a good reputa- tion and my goal was to uphold it, Mrs. Higgins stated. In November FTA sponsored Teacher Appreciation Week. Members supplied goodies, baked by themselves, to the teachers' lounges each day during lunch. Special little gifts were given to teachers each morning. Members pulled together and made the week a huge success. Members brought home honors from the district IV convention in December. Derwin Youngblood, chapter president, was named District Mr. FTA. Amanda LaFleur and Melissa Bamsch won third place in seasonal bulletin board competi- tion. Charlene White took second place in educational bulletin board competition. The club also attended the state convention in Austin during the Spring. Derwin Youngblood com- peted for state Mr. FTA and a scholarship. Members sold carna- tions the week of February 6th through 10th and delivered them on Valentine's Day. FTA ended the year with a party to pat themselves on the back and let Mrs. Higgins know what a great job she had done. Charlene White puts the flnlshlng touches on her bulletin board for district competition. Mr. FTA, Derwin Youngblood, is con- gratulated by fellow club members. dps by

choir 204 S A Cappella Choir members entertain customers at the Texas Commerce Bank during the Holi- daySeason. Practice Makes Perfect Sing! Sing! Sing! That's what choir is all about. The choir began their year by practicing for Region Choir competition. This competition re- quired a lot of hard work and self dedication. After Region Competi- tion, they made their first trip to sing in the Astrodome. They earned the honor of singing the national an- them before the district play-offs. The holidays came and it was time for Snow Flakes Slowly Drifting and Winter Wonderland music for their annual Christmas concert. This year they were joined in their con- cert by the performing choir from Hambrick Junior High. The concert ended with a standing ovation from the audience. The choir also went to Texas Com- merce Bank on Airline Drive and to the Aldine Administrative Building to perform during the holidays. After the Christmas concert, the choir started to prepare for solo and ensemble competition and for the Pop Shows. Entertaining the school was one of the most interesting and fun things we did all year, stated Don- nie Thompson, president of the MacArthur A Cappella choir. Mr. Lambert hypnotlzes Angela Ramirez and Jodi McAdams into singing O Holy Night. Choir members warm up customers inside the bank, while winter winds blow rain around in gales outside. l i dpsl
