During their first year, FTA was somewhat unknown. They got a slow, shy start. But they gradually gained recognition as the year went by. President Dot Barger was strong and involved. Sponsor Mrs. Dolman was supportive and guiding. FTA was organized to familiarize students with different methods and to give them the chance to experience them. Janet Vittek and Laura Johnson taught Wooldridge Elementary School students twice a week. The club raised money by having a bake sale, assembly, and selling candy. The money went to club funds and to the nationwide FTA convention in Houston. Mrs. Dolman drove four of the twelve club members down to Houston in her own car. They went to the zoo on a Friday, and at the convention, attended the campaign for the state FTA officers. Saturday morning, the convention was divided up into different sessions on how to campaign for political office, workshops on human relations, and more down-to-earth things as how to make scrapbooks of club activities. Other workshops taught how to organize community and school service projects with emphasis on book drives, children's hospital, and elementary school work. They brought back useful knowledge to help build FTA strength at Lanier. Wooldridge children were thrilled at the idea of having Janet Vittek teach their class. Janet taught an elementary class twice a week. ip ' wg l lst Row: Mrs. Dolman, Amy Howell, Dot Barger, Ftoberto Corrada, Beverly Villareal, 2nd Row: Sandy Dot Barger suggests having a couple of horror Usher, Chickie Kulcdyk, Nancy Nehring, Carla Kerlin, Lisa Neitsch, Linda Kutach, movies for fund-raising assembly.

226 latin Operating in the Arts and Crafts wing, a little known but active organization sailed through the year learning much about Roman life and language. The purpose of Caesar's Circle is to give students practical experience with Latin. Anything you have practical experience with, you remember. Our weekly meetings help us to plan what we are going to do with the other clubs in Austin. Being in Latin Club helps the students meet other people with the same interests and unique school activities, said sponsor Mrs. Sayers. An Arts and Crafts teacher, Mrs. Sayers had an extra aid in bringing Latin to life for her students who met every first period. When learning a facet of Roman life, for instance, students could build a replica of the city ot Rome, or dress dolls they made in costumes ofthe period they were learning about. Caesar's Circle earned money to help educate a boy in the Philippines and to plant trees on Town Lake. At the end ofthe year, club members attended an all-city Senatris Romanorum banquet. This organization participated in city meets and competed in vocabulary, Greek, and Roman grammar, literature, and history, and Olympic events such as discus throwing and track running. Latin Club attended contests throughout the year. In a city contest, Ric Sullivan placed third in the city on vocabulary contests. At the San Antonio Classical League contest, equivalent to a District competition, President Patti Parkinson came out tops on Roman life. When the club ventured to the Texas State Classical League meet, all Lanier students who participated from Caesar's Circle came home with placement inthe top ten in the state. Quite a showing tor a club virtually unknown at its own school. Cindy Moritz works on a salt map depicting the city of Rome. Materials were easily accessible as class was held in the Arts and Crafts wing. df ' J? Pat Hunter displays pottery made in Latin class. Ceram- Bottom Row: Recording 'V-411' C7 if F!
