FTA Develops Teaching Skills The Future Teachers Association was created to develop qualified teachers and leaders. Their main goal was to maintain a good rela- tionship b e t w e e n students and faculty. During the past year the FTA had the opportunity to have guest speakers who talked to the group about the teaching profession. The group had a year-wide project selling post cards featuring Falfurrias High School. They had bake sales, and they sponsored teas for the teachers. The members toured Del Mar College, and the senior members had the opportunity to teach at the Elementary school while regular teachers attended meetings. Mrs. Letitia McDaniels, along with Coach Homero Adarne were the groups sponsors this year. Officers were: President, Sandra Garzag Vice-President, Naida Solizg Committee Chairman, Cynthia Starrg Secretary, Middy Wilkinsong Trea- surer, Lillian Starrg Historian, Velma Cantug Parliamentarian, Nelda Gon- zalezg Reporter, Eli Garzag and Ser- geant-At-Arms, Mike Ortiz. Members of the F .T.A. this year were Noemi Bena- vides, Edna Barrera, Mary Miles, and Irma Cantu. The F.T.A. sponsor was Mrs. Letitia McDaniel.
