Bravnik. FTA Lights The Path To Education Stimulating an interest in teaching as a vocation is the purpose of the Future Teachers of America. With the assistance of Mrs. Straub and Mrs. Peete, students learn practical applications of educational theories. To participate in the clubs activities members are re- quired to maintain a 2.0 academic average. Throughout the year this organization performed many services for the faculty and sponsored various proj- ects. Among these activities Was the St. Patricks Day Dance, Which was held in March. Also, as an Education Week project, the Club gave apples to each of the teachers. Cokes for the faculty were supplied by the Future Teachers in a tea on Student Government Day. As a memento, the club presented Mr. Hunter with a plaque which commemorated the naming of the Chap- ter after him.

Nurses Give Hope To The Ill And Needy Unselfishness is the key word when discussing the Future Nurses of America. These girls, who desire to enter one of the many aspects of the medical profession, have dedicated their time and energy toward the prop- osition of helping those less fortunate than they. Eligi- bility for membership is established by maintaining a 2.5 academic average and a desire to make nursing their future vocation. The members and their sponsor, Miss Jasiecki, spread cheer by taking gifts and magazines to patients in hos- pitals and homes. The Norland clinic was staffed by these hnursesb throughout the year. In order to finance these charitable affairs the nurses conducted one large fund-raising project. This was the sale of Miami Norland stationery with a Viking ship embossed at the top of each sheet.
