Students Look To Future l dreamt l was all grown up and I was a teacher in Kindergarten. Common phrases such as these can be heard from the lips of little children. What will the future be like? Various future oriented clubs in school gave students a chance to involve them- selves in a field of their interest. For students desir- ing to become teachers, the Future Teachers Club provided exposure to many aspects of the occupa- tion. The club had a guest speaker early in the year, Mrs. Sutherland, from the Wayside Elementary School, who talked- about the ioys and frustrating experiences of teaching. A scholarship went to the senior who did the most for the F.T.A. Student rep- resentatives were sent to the State S.N.J.E.A. fStu- dent New Jersey Education Associationl Convention in the spring. The Future Nurses Club gave students a chance to learn aspects of nursing, with the school nurse, Mrs. Leibhart, as the advisor. The stu- dents raised money to give a scholarship to a de- serving student. The Future Homemakers learned of the home and of themselves. They had a guest speaker, a beauty consultant, who gave beauty tips for the girls. At the end of the year one student was chosen as Homemaker of America. Students wish- ing to become Perry Masons ioined the Future Law- yers Club, which was started this year. Mr. Galla- gher, who spoke about law, was the guest speaker for the club. These future oriented clubs provided an experience to those students who wished to find a clue to their future.
