48 Future Teachers of America PEACE CORPS? VISTA? Project Headstart? FTA members were able to learn about government serv- ices in teaching through the special programs held on these subjects. Members were given a chance to determine whether teaching was their desired career when they taught at elementary schools and to Wasson A group classes. The traditional sale of Homecoming Mums was held the week of October 30, and at the Homecoming Carnival students were able to satisfy their urge to take revenge on their favorite math teachers by heaving shaving cream pies at them - all for only three tickets! Money from the two events and from the FTA- sponsored Commencement Dance was used to provide an FTA scholarship for an outstanding senior member and to build a school in Asia or Africa through the Peace Corps.
