The Student Teacher ' s Club was organized in an effort to create interest in teaching as a profes- sion. Twenty-eight girls and six boys are enrolled in the club even though membership is limited to Juniors and Seniors who are interested in observing and teaching in the elementary and high schools. The success of the club is indicated by the large enrollment. At the monthly meetings, the club members discuss problems concerning them as student teachers, or they are addressed by members of the administration on topics of interest to begin- ning teachers. The highlight of each member ' s club year is the teaching of a preferred class. The student teacher first observes a class, make preparations, and then teaches the same class under the super- vision of the regular instructor.
