FTA Committee Composed Constitution. F. T. A. Creates Interest in Teaching Northwestern's Oscar T. Hawke Chapter ot the Future Teachers ot America is an active society that furnishes aspiring teachers with practical experience. When there was a vacancy in the faculty of the elementary or jun- ior high, a member ot FTA was sent to fill in for the absent teacher while experiencing actual teaching situa- tions. The FTA held one meeting where college students study- ing education spoke on teaching and college experi- ences. On April 29, they held their annual FTA Ban- quet in Springfield where Dr. Slaymaker of Wittenberg was the principle speaker. The society has grown through the past few years, and it is hoped that interest in the society and in teaching will continue to grow.

Study Advanced Agricultural Methods The FFA is a national organization found in all states. Its 380,000 members study to become better farmers in this scientific age, and stronger leaders in the field of agriculture. With activities such as Leadership Training School, Parliamentary Proced- ure Contests, FFA Camp, and Judging Contests, the FFA is helping to build a better tomorrow. Northwestern participated in all of these activities. Early in each FFA year, the officers go to Officers Training School. There they learn how to perform the duties of their respective offices, and how to conduct a business meeting. Then starting in the spring, they participate in various iudging contests. In April they entered the State Parliamentary Pro- cedure Contest, a contest in which they have re- ceived a gold rating for the past six years. At this time, some boys applied for State Farmer Degrees, the highest degree awarded in the state. During the summer months there are not as many activities since the boys are working on the farm. But during fair time most of the Northwestern boys can be found at the fair showing their prize pos- sessions. gu . 1: .,..

Here awards were given to boys who have worked since they were greenhands to attain. Friends, who have helped the chapter, were presented Honorary Chapter Farmer Degrees. The queen and court were presented and the names of the new officers made public for the first time. This year, as in former years, a state officer spoke at the banquet. A short pro- gram was given in which the officer explained what FFA stands for and what it is trying to do. This is best explained in the FFA motto: Learn to do, Doing to learn. Earning to live, Living to serve.
