Monahan. future teachers of umericu The fall of 1956 found a new organization on campus; the former Education and Child Develop- ment Club was replaced by the Goucher chapter of Future Teachers of America and the National Edu- cation Association, on the national level. The change greatly benefited individual members of the group7 for it gave each education major a close tie with her future profession through the NEA journals she received throughout the year. Three members of the group also attended the FTA Con- vention at Towson State Teachers College in Janu- ary and learned much about the workings of other chapters in Maryland. During the year guest speakers brought to the group stimulating recounts of work in phases of 30 special education, dealing with mentally and physi- cally retarded children, and the Calvert School pro- gram as it is used throughout the world. Tying in with this accent on specialized teaching, the chapter sponsored, in conjunction with several other Clubs on campus, the film, ttThe Quiet One:9 which deals With the counselling of an emotionally disturbed boy and his gradual recovery. The year closed with a tea for new Education and Child Development majors, and a picnic at Donnybrook. The officers for the year were Lynn Denny, president; Carolyn Dittmar, Vice-president; Judith Banker, secretary; and Grace Glenn, treasurer. Faculty advisor was Mrs. Beulah Tatum.

Panel discussions and lectures aimed at promot- ing recognition and understanding of world prob- lems provided an interesting and varied program for the History Club during the past year. Topics were designed to cover two areas: those that are not fully developed in the curriculum at Coucher, and those of general appeal to any student of history. The club provided an opportunity for the depart- 29 mental majors, faculty, and any others interested in the field to meet informally, especially over open fires at the annual picnic. New majors were also welcomed at a tea during spring term. AS a branch of the Associated Social Science Clubs, the History Club sponsored joint programs with the other mem- ber groups. Among these was the Foreign Students, Dinner given on United Nations Day.

A foreign language becomes more meaningful when one has a knowledge of the people, their music, literature, and social customs. Therefore reading and discussing German poetry and hearing Schubert75 4lLiederT was alternated with a practice of customs, as of Christmas and other festive days. The German Club would like to eX- press sincere thanks to faculty advisers, Mrs. Erna Sohirokauer and Dr. Ernst Frise, in appreciation of their encouragement and time given to the Club. The Spanish Club has in the past tried to give its members a chance not only to hear and speak the Spanish language, but also to learn about the cus- toms and life of the people in Spanish-speaking countries. The fiesta with the colorful pinata and the slides and talk about Indians in South America at the beginning of the year gave us a glimpse of lif e there. We also had a Spanish table every other week, a dinner prepared by Senor Noble and the club officers. Also, a dance program featuring many of the popular dances, and other varied DI'O- grams, all of which contributed to our interesting experiences and a very profitable year. spunish club Seated on floor, left to right: B.
