 I enjoyed student teaching. It's really great to be helping a child that's struggling along and all of a sudden he gets what you are trying to show him and it makes you feel good. There are always the quiet students the teacher has such a hard time getting around to and they're the ones you really want to help. I feel that I was able to begin to learn how to cope with children. What I mean is I learned that you cannot usually treat two different children in the same way. — Shannon Perkins I have been able to individualize my math program to a greater extent by having an FTA'er work with me. Each student is working to his own speed and this would be impossible to do without help. — Mrs. Morelli 3uiure Geacfiers Association Better know as FTA are a group of juniors and seniors interested in learning more about the field of education. Most of these students are helping out at the elementary school with activities like physical education, music, math, and reading. Some of the grade schoolers got a kick out of being taught social studies, math and reading by high school students. The high school boys seemed to be a favorite with the little children, especially, since they tend to idolize them most of the time. This helped the boys gain the attention and respect of these children. The FTA program .. . should help me when I'm around people and in getting a job. - Bill Cox The FTA program has helped me determine whether or not I would like to be a teacher. — Duane Brockett My hour at the grade school usually went fast, especially when working with the individuals in math and spelling. FTA has helped me to decide definitely to go into teaching. — Bernice Zumwalt FTA MEMBERS.

Home Gconomics This year there was a homemaking section open to junior and senior boys. One of the major projects of the year was a home decorating project. The cabinets in the homemaking room were antiqued with white and gold. The tailoring class had a total of 10 enrollees this year. Each girl learned how to work with wool as well as how to construct a tailored coat. Betty Crocker Search for the American Homemaker of Tomorrow found a champion in Kathy Wilcoxen who will receive a heart shaped award symbolizing the home. Also the Crisco Award for the Outstanding Student in Homemaking went to Ruth Johnson. 23

I have learned to understand students of that age better and to get along without any trouble. I have helped the girls in track as well as other sports and to teach them to look on the good side even if they didn't like it. — Linda Burgett I did get a little out of the course. Patience with younger kids was one aspect. I can now talk to one of them without pressing to do something else. Working so close to the kids has also given me a deep understanding of the problems faced by teachers. — Carl Barnett Teaching has helped me to plan how I will set up in general, my class in PE when I become a teacher. — Beverly Wooderson It has been possible to give these children the extra help they have needed and because of this they have progressed much farther than they would have. — Mrs. Duhrkoop I got to know many of the children personally and after a while could realize about what kind of help they needed. — Mary Swearingen My FTA'er has shown resourcefulness in making arrangements for midget girls to attend the state track meet. — Mrs. Morelli I have been able to see how the little kids learn. And to see what I might want to do in the future. Jackje Brown The benefits are so many. You can see the way each child is growing up. You can even almost tell the type of home and background each one has. — JoAnn Niemi I'm guite sure that I won't be teaching at the elementary level, but in the future when I look back at my experience in FTA there will be nothing that wasn't beneficial. — Mary Ann Lindley I've learned to control my temper when the kids become noisy or unruly. I think I'm beginning to understand why some children have trouble with English and I tried to help them with these troubles. I've learned to get as much of a lesson as I can into the time I'm allotted. — Debbie Duncan I have learned to be more at ease with the — Terry Snodgrass 25
