FTA Members Explore Teaching World “Learn by doing” is the credo of the Leonard W. Menzi FTA club, organized in 1954. Each FTA member must obtain actual classroom experience each semester by helping the supervising teachers in the elementary grades. Under the guidance of sponsor Miss Pearle O. Baxter and president Betsy Kontny, the Future Teachers of America learn about the teaching pro- fession through pamphlets, magazines and guest speakers. The members act as guides at the high school PTA open house. They also entertain some of the foreign women at EMU and exchange ideas on education. The Roosevelt FTA’rs serve as guides at the EMU open house, held for mem- bers of FTA Clubs who are interested in attending EMU in preparation for teach- ing careers. Other officers besides the president include vice president Jean Warner, sec- retary Ellen McDermott, and treasurer Mary Brady. Ww Betsy Kontny gets a few teaching pointers - from Mrs. Grimm, first grade teacher.

The chorus sang a required number and a number of their own choice to earn their awards. The songsters also received excellent rat- ings on their “sight readings” of three composi- tions. Throughout the year the chorus presented special programs. At Christmas the chorus and English department presented a choralogue for the student body. The Roosevelt and Lincoln choruses exchanged assembly programs.
