The Don Bottum Chapter of the Future Teachers ot America is a new organization on Northern's campus this year. Although newly formed, this club's meetings have featured speakers who discussed topics such as social security, teachers' retirement. and the European school system. Plans for the fu- ture include study trips to the various schools in this area, observations of instructors' teaching meth- 68 ods, and actual work with children of different age levels. Northern's chapter can be considered one of the pioneer college groups in joining the F.T.A. move- ment. The chiei purposes of this movement are to interest young people in the teaching career, and to acquaint them with the teaching program.

Engzfsh czub The English Club, which is composed of English majors and minors and other interested students, meets to discuss subjects of common interest to its members. The club meets once a month. Highlights of some of this year's activities were book reviews, movies, readings of poetry, and programs of recorded music and poetry. Group projects consisted of collecting local folklore and preparing a radio program. The special activities were excursions to local points of interest-archictectural and historical-a literary character masquerade party and theater parties when classical movies were presented in the city. 67

Industrial Arts Club Quite in contrast to the past, when practically the only offerings were manipulative work in metal and wood, industrial arts-as we know it today- offers a variety of shop activities, as well as a-wealth of informative material. In addition to this enlarged program, membership in the Industrial Arts Club is afforded for those students desiring to further their interests. The club's objective is to promote the welfare and the mutual interests of the department and the students who are enrolled in it. Club membership is open to all Industrial Arts majors and minors. ' Regular meetings are held to promote and pursue professional activities as well as numerous social functions. Upholding the tradition of being the best fed club on the campus , some of this year's high- lights included the partridge supper, the venison banquet, the rabbit stew, the smelt fry, and the annual spring picnic when the families and friends of the members gathered to bid farewell to gradu- ating members. Other activities included visits to local industrial plants. 69
