These clubs eye future EYES ON the future discribes the ambitious members of FTA and FHA. Future Teachers, finding themselves in the second grade, witnessed show and tell, listened patient- ly to the droning sound ofa child reading Dick and Jane, and saw a variety of expressions on first grade faces from a toothy grin to appealing brown eyes. These experiences were made possible to FTA members through a new pro- ject of Future Teachers Association. The project gave those desiring to be teachers an opportunity to teach at Maryland Elementary School and the chance to learn if they were actually suited for the profession. Officers are Mary Scholtz, presidentg Linda Petersg vice-presidentg Carlotta Eerwin, secretary, and Janice Johnson, treasurer. PURSUING ACTIVITIES different from those of FTA, the Homemakers hosted a Round Robin dinner and gave a group of underprivileged children a something they'll never forget, a trip to the Phoenix Zoo. A money-making project was a candy apple sale. Members also considered the possibility of changing the name of the club and pur- suing the goal of individual improvement instead of emphasizing a career in home economics and the lifelong career of being a housewife. Officers are Missy Blundy, president, Sandy Schaal, vice-presidentg Janet Prince, secretary, Peggy Howe, treasurerg and Christine Johnson, publicity manager. Above - ln a scene showing mass confusion, FHA members enjoy a party after school and try to relax from the burden of homework.

Recipients of their good will were AFS, pom pon girls, cheerleaders, girl gymnasts, news- paper and yearbook, and Boys' State. A new trophy case for the school was also purchased by the Lettermen. OFFICERS FOR the year were Wally Scholz, president, Tom Freeman, vice-president, Dave Cruse, secretary, Wesley Soo Hoo, treasurer, and Doug Webb, publicity manager. Sponsors were Mr. Sine and Mr. Swerdfeger. Lettermen describe their meetings as riotous. President Wally Scholz manages to maintain enough decorum for the group to vote. 58 President Connie Connors discusses business with Lettergirls that will result in one of their members receiving a college scholarship. No matter what sport they participate in, all Lettermen join in to increase school spirit. Here they correctly predict the death of the Cardinals. ,...-mis: -.
