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.

National Honor Society BIDS FOR THE Wasson chapter of the National Honor Society were extended December 1 to thirty- five juniors and fifty-nine seniors. Students were selected from the upper twenty-five per cent of the two classes on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Activities of the organization were widely varied. The first meeting, a get-acquainted pizza party, was held after school on December 11 in the Brick Room. During second semester, Doug Sisk conducted classes on parliamentary procedure. ln February, books were collected from the student body and sent to service- men overseas, the Red Cross, and Project Headstart. A delegation attended the annual N.H.S. convention at Colorado University in the spring. Members participated voluntarily in the Honor Society Tutoring Service. Tutoring arrangements were made by appointments and took place before and after school, during study halls and free periods. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY - FRONT ROW: C. W.
