Carnival attraction Members experience teaching firsthand Future Teachers of America members are offered various opportunities to develop their interests in the teaching profession. Club activities included the traditional teaching days at area elementary and jun- ior high schools. Members experienced first- hand what teaching is really like on the three scheduled teaching days. In addition to these days, they were left in charge of classes at Birdville Elementary while the faculty attended a luncheon. The Halloween spirit prevailed in October when members involved area children in a carnival. The kids enjoyed bobbing for apples, watching cartoons, and going to the booths. Prior to the carnival, members had sought donations of money and candy to help support the event. In February, eleven members attended the state convention in San Antonio. They entered the scrapbook competition after some anxious moments putting it together. According to Tammi Shelton, We were going to shellac the cover of the scrapbook, punch holes and write cut lines on the way. After putting it together, the paper stuck out half an inch from the cover. We went to three office supply stores before we found the right rings. When we reached the San Antonio Con- vention Center, we had five minutes to get the scrapbook to the judging room, but we couldn't find it. With a minute to spare, we made it only to find that the scrapbook had fallen apart. Member showed appreciation for teachers by putting apples and life savers in their boxes. They also placed baked goods in the teachers lounge. Each person has to be enthusiastic and make it fun or it won't be enjoyable, said President Kennilyn Poole. Other officers were Vice-President Melonie Nowell, Secre- tary Leeanne Ashley, Treasurer Terri Reihl, Parliamentarian Steve Mylius and Historian Wendy Wright. A,
