Members Treat Kids, Dld Folks To develop leadership and participation in home and school community, the Future Teachers of America employed a variety of methods, according to Mrs. Rozelle Bezant, the club sponsor. From parties for the elderly to symposiums on marriage, the students gained knowledge and experiences never to be forgotten. At Christmas, the FHA treated the elderly of LBJ and Delwood Nursing Homes with carols and Christmas cheer. Easter brought an Easter Egg Hunt and party for the children of St. John's Day Care Center. Other activities included Rev. Shirley Hill’s lecture on marriage in January, an Area meeting in San Antonio in March, and a banquet in early May.

l Banquet Honors RR’s August meant the end of summer was approaching to most students, but to the Double R’s it only meant trying to keep their eyes open at six in the morning. Double R's spent almost the entire month of August at the school practicing routines. The jazz, prop, and high kick routines that they learned were performed during the halftimes at Football games. Each week, a Dancer of the Week and an Outstanding Corporal Squad were selected. These girls were picked for their outstanding performances during the halftime shows, according to Mrs. Shirley Isherwood, director of the drill team. In the latter part of January, the Double R's performed to a variety of Broadway tunes at their Spring Show. The annual event, titled 'Broadway in Black and White,' was presented in the Boys' Gym. As port of their tryout requirements, officer candidates made up routines for the performance. Many of the girls also choreographed routines but did not try out for officer. After the last dance, the Double R's outgoing officers were honored along with their parents for all the work, time, and money they had put into the drill team. The scenery and set for their performances far surpassed the previous shows. The routines that the officer candidates choreographed were very original, commented Mrs. Isherwood. Villa Capri's Ambassador Room was the site of the Double R Banquet. Outstanding members were named and new officers were announced. (1) At the banquet, Cary Kopplcr accepti the position of Captain of the Double R's.
