It offers member- ship to any student with interest in teaching, or in other areas of the field of education. F.T.A. has organized a program whereby students having no less than a C average may receive one unit of credit per year for cadet teaching. This will be effective in the 1960-61 school year.

National Honor Society The National Honor Society is a chapter of a nation- wide organization. To be eligible for membership a student must have a B average for six semesters of school work. Then the student ' s extracurricular ac- tivities are evaluated by his teachers, who must ap- prove his membership. As its project for 1959-60 the Griffith National Honor Society undertook the tutoring of high school students. Students who were confined to their homes because of illness or other reasons were given preference. Second choice was mid-term transfer students. Third choice was pupils referred to the society by their classroom teachers — pupils who have the ability and the desire to learn and who would benefit from tutoring. In accordance with the National Honor Society ' s tutoring program, John Blanchard and Don Wiltfong help a student with his algebra.
