Training in School Future Teachers of America was organized to create interest in the teaching profession and to acquaint students with the responsibilities of teaching and education. The club members learned thfe right techniques of teaching by helping in the school for exceptional children. They also helped out at the P.T.A. Back to School Night by ushering and babysitting with the small children. The members also heard various speakers from around the county who talked about teaching. Along with the A.F.S. Club, the Future Teachers put on an assembly to emphasize the need for good relationship between students of America and foreign students. Besides learning teaching techniques and doing deeds of good will, the members held money mak- ing proiects. They had a bake sale, sold cookbooks containing the teachers' favorite recipes, and spon- sored a dance after the Hillsborough-Manatee bas- ketball game. To end the year, they held a meeting of all the F.T.A. members of the county.

Students are first taught in the classroom the methods and skills of agriculture. Then they are given an opportunity to apply these methods at the agriculture plot behind Bayshore Junior High. The plot consists of ten acres of land with a modern greenhouse and an elabor- ate irrigation system. Grown on the plot this year are cabbage, tomatoes, Easter lilies, strawberries, squash, beans, peas, and caladiums. The main event of the year is the annual Sweet- heart Contest. Judging of the contestants is based on beauty, talent, and performance. Janet Diemer is the reigning sweetheart. This year the Manatee Chapter organized the Manatee County Federation of F.F.A. with Mike Nicholas as President. Mike Nicholas is shown with his prize steer which was sold at the M tee County Fair.
