The Mary Potter FTA is made up of juniors and seniors who are interested in becoming teachers. The purpose of the club is to provide its members with opportunities to identify and develop the qualities and aptitudes basic to successful teaching; to understand the development and purposes of our schools and to appreciate the contributions they make to our democratic free society. Through our organization we hope to get experience in research, organization, and presentation of materials on debatable topics. Advisor Mrs. T. W. Anderson 53
