Welcome Party day, several members gathered at the school and collected trash as they observed annual Earth Day. For a project this year, they proposed a tutoring system to help students who were failing a subject. F.T.A., known for its many hikes, once again repeated these endeavors to the delight of its members. As in past years, the juniors and seniors ventured into local public schools to student teach. Here they helped the teach- ers on the playground at recess, just as they did in the classroom. For the first time in many years the club received new sponsors. Miss Sharon Raper and Mr. Robert Robley became the club’s new supporters. They replaced Mr. Ed Pfeifer and Mrs. Roberta Troxell, who formerly sponsored the club. Future Teachers Upperclassmen Institute Frosh The Future Teachers of Amer- ica started off their year with a Freshman initiation party held at the home of its president, Barbara Lizarraga.

Ch ess Club Hosts Tournament, Awards First Place Trophy Through the doors of Room 41 many students could be seen con- centrating on the difficult game of chess. Mr. Bill Senne, sponsor of the club, hosted their annual spring tournament. Alvin Hamilton, last year’s tournament winner, received a trophy sig- nifying this. This year’s winner received the same honor. Con- centration and work are needed if the player intends to achieve this, and there are many who succeed. Some students join because it is a game of challenge for them. But for others it is a fun game to play at lunchtime as a break in the day. The club meetings are every Friday at noon. There are no dues or requirements for membership. All players must compete every week to retain full membership, but students may play any time.
