Future Teachers of America Organize The Future Teachers, a newly-organized club, is made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who desire to make teaching their profession. The purpose of the club is to give prospective teachers an idea of what school teaching involves and also to give them some practical experience. The Future Teachers render a definite service by substi- tuting for teachers. After the club received its charter at the begin- ning of the year, it became an organized club in McDonald High School. The members of the club, with lVlr. Plato Anestis as sponsor, started the year by electing Rachel Hughey, president: and Ruth Ann Daniels, vice presi- dent. Other officers elected were Margie Beth Hull, secretary-treasurer, and Mary Beth l-lampson, his- torian. There are seven graduating members in the club this year. Several of them have already been accepted at various colleges, where they will major in the field of education. The student body of Nl. H. S. wishes the Future Teachers of America many more successful years in McDonald High School. FIRST ROW Cleft to rightl - Camellia Toulouse.

El Club Pan-Americana El Club Pan-Americana needed two sponsors for the I956-57 year. Mrs. Rosan Campbell, who had the good fortune to enjoy a trip around the world during the second semester, turned over her duties to Mrs. Nancy Bracall. Christmas, with its traditional Spanish customs. gave the club an opportunity for colorful and interest- ing activities. At the Christmas party, a pinata, the Spanish version of the Christmas stocking, was sus- pended from a pole and then broken, releasing the goodies with which it had been filled. The whole school enjoyed the Christmas carols sung in the halls by club members. Needless to add, they were sung in Spanish. The club continued the custom of writing to pen pals in Central and South American countries. Initiation of lirst-year Spanish students took place on Pan-American Day in April. The officers include Ellen Bednar, president: Dale Miller, vice president: William Hyser, secre- tary: Janet Heron, treasurer: Patricia Berry, reporter. 'W ig K aaa. 9. 'X' bf?-
