Future Teachers Institute Tutoring Program at 1 I f 1971-72 was an interesting year for the East Allegheny chapter of the Future Teachers of America. After reorganization of the club during the early part of the year, a full schedule was planned. The members were quite busy all year. A Christmas party was held for the children at St. Peter's Child Department Center in Turtle Creek. F.T.A. members also attended talks by two speakers, Mr. Regrut. E.A.H.S. teacher, and Mr. Barner, a former participant of the Teachers Corps. The group sponsored two Teach-Ins, one for Senior members only. and one for all active members of the club. A tutoring program was put into operation with the help of Mr. Ehrlich, and a number of mem- bers also worked as teacher aides. The chapter participated in a national project to determine some of the causes of student unrest in America. Miss Grochal, advisor, and Patty Lurouere, president, worked closely all year in planning interesting and educational activities. Top: tfirst rowi, N. Parafenuk, C. Johnston, P. Larouere, E.

Bozio, Participates In Exchange Program With Parsippan Hills The Wildcat Symphony Band experienced another year of attaining even higher goals and exceeding its greatest expectations. Con- certs and a trip kept the band constantly on the move and always practicing. The band journeyed to Parsippany Hills, New Jersey, as a part of an exchange program with the Parsippany Hills Viking Band. Two concerts were performed in four days. A tour was taken of nearby New York, including such landmarks as the Statue of Liberty and Rock- efeller Center. At home, the band performed concerts on the average of one every month. Playing about 24 pieces of repertoire throughout the concert season, the band can boast of an accomplish- ment seldom achieved by high school bands. Perhaps the most exciting concert being one that the Wildcat Band had the honor of sharing with Carnegie Mellon Kiltie Band of Carnegie Mellon University. The climax of the year was a breathless performance by the band at state adjudications in which they were again awarded superior ratings.
