The FTA’ers work as teacher’s aids to gain teaching experiences. This year the chapter undertook the initiative in several new activities. Three standing committees: Program, Food, and Publicity, were founded. The FTA’ers were represented at the S.E. Minn. FTA Conference and State Meeting, attended the movie ‘To Sir With Love” for its educational message, and took part in the Minn. FTA Scholarship Program. The highlight of the year, PROJECT UNDERSTANDING—a student exchange between schools, was one of the most exciting FTA projects ever attempted. 28
