Junior high Latin students were sold on an auction block to club members for a few cents apiece, and the money collected was contributed to the Junior Classical League scholarship fund. Later Latin Club traveled by chartered bus to the state Junior Classical League convention at George Washington High School in Denver. Various club members conducted the art contest, designed and printed the program covers, and sponsored the mythology examinations. Mary Anne Davitt, a third-year Latin student, campaigned for state office. The other members competed in the many art, handiwork, writing, history, and grammar contests.

REIBSCHEID, explaining the Literacy Program at the monthly meeting, V presents several case histories of successful graduates from the Program and gives suggestions for extra jobs to be done by F.T.A. members. o o WHIPPED CREAM PIES plus unwilling teachers as targets equaled a fair amount of frustrated students who failed to hit the bull's eye. 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.
