Practice teaching, the first valuable step toward actual exploration of the teaching profession, was considered by the Future Teachers to be one highpoint of the year's pro- gram. This experience was made possible each year, for the school district has depended upon the F.T.A. clubs in Colorado Springs to substitute for elementary school teach- ers involved with in-service training. Spring activities were topped with the weekend jaunt to Grand Junction to attend the Colorado Future Teachers of America Convention at Central High School. Sponsor- ship of the Commencement Dance each year and the 1963 Homecoming mums sale enabled F.T.A. to offer scholar- ships to several graduating F.T.A. seniors. 1963-1964 officers - Karen Loptien, president, my Betty Christman, vice-president, Roberta Powell, secre- tary, Sandy Davis, treasurer, Shirley Roth, historian, and Mike Rubridge, I.C.C. representative - have worked with the sponsors, Mr. Jack Barber and Mr. Glenn Dalton, to .... offer Wasson's aspiring teachers an opportunity to investi- gate this career.
