FTA Aids Church Tutoring Program Members of the Future Teachers of America partic- ipated in the tutoring program at Centennial Meth- odist Church this year. They had the opportunity to teach fourth, fifth and sixth graders, and thus, to gain experience in teaching. FTA members were guests at many conference meetings throughout the state this year. In Novem- ber, two members travelled to Jacksonville. Illinois, to participate in the Special Education Conference. Other members attended teas and special meetings held for FTA ' s in the city. The December meeting was highlighted by the showing of the movie. The Littlest Angel. At Eas- ter, the future teachers went to the Easter Seal Building and organized a party for the children there. This party is an annual event. In April, which is teacher ' s month, every teacher at East received an apple from FTA. Under the direction of adviser William Dolan.

FNC Studies Rock Valley ' s East ' s Future Nurses had a chance to see the newest nurses ' training pro- gram in the area when they toured the campus of Rock Valley College and were told about the nursing and den- tal hygiene training programs there. The girls also learned more about the nursing and health careers from monthly speakers, including a med- ical technician, nursing instructor and two nurses. At Christmas some of the girls vis- ited patients at St. Anthony ' s Hos- pital and sang carols in the halls. FNC ' s new adviser was Mrs. Janet Moline, who worked with Mrs. Edna Walker, the school nurse. Money raised by a bake sale helped finance club activities and a Home- coming float built jointly with the Future Teachers Association. FNC members Pat Carley. Kathy Mumma. Nancy Johnson.
