FTA Show Appreciation to Teachers One ofthe main purposes of the Future Teachers of America was to show their appreciation to the teach- ers. Teacher Appreciation Week was held during the week of November 12- 16. FTA gave out candy grams to all the teachers every day of that week, commented Irma Fierro, club presi- dent. But these weren't just ordinary candy grams. Each one had a number for a raffle. The winner was Mr. Sane , chez, activities manager. For money-raising projects, they had several bake sales in front ot the cafeteria. They also sold candles tor 32.00 each for Christmas. During Homecoming they decorated the hall next to the homemaking rooms. January 6, a convention was held at Riverside High School.

Ne Got the Mime if You Got the Time W The Blob mimest found themselves a good creature to eat as the creature was played by ' Dikki Solis. Tammy Campbell experienced Mime make- up for the second time as she puts on a sloppy face. Pantomine, like acting, took much of mimest time, but, of course, if one wanted to be the cream of the crop among other schools it was worth the work. Mil- dred Knapp and Jesus Salas took second place at Las Cruces. Jesus was also successful at EI Paso Community College taking first in solo mime. He went to finals at Coronado High School. Leo Larriva took second in solo mime at E.P.C.C., second at Las Cruces and also went to finals at Coronado High School. Raul Rodriguez was in finals at L.C.H.S. and at Coronado High School. All of these students participate mostly for contest in mime. The hours that were put into them required time for research on the music which went exactly perfect with their mime. 'There were times when they had to find literary mimes, things that were from a published book or fairy tale. Pantomime is the first step towards acting. So all the actors learned how to mime. When April was just around the corner, they worked hard on their mimes and made some up. They gave the audi ence who went to the third panto- mime show April 26 a lot of smiles and laughs. 39
