CLUBS PROBE CAREERS This year the Weaver Future Teachers’ Associa¬ tion became an active school organization. The year’s activities were begun under the guidance of a new adviser, Mrs. Marie Gubitz, with a lecture by Miss Donna Adcock. Club members also held a lively Christmas party, a stuffed animal sale for the Connecticut Society for Crippled Children and Adults, and a candy sale. On the final day of exams in January, the F.T.A. sponsored a luncheon with Mr. Curtis of the American School for the Deaf as guest speaker. Another F.T.A. project was the Student Teacher Exchange Day held on Valen¬ tine’s Day. This was the first time in many years opportunity to teach their own classes. The years’ activities were closed by a trip to New York and a cookout. The highlight of the year’s activities for the Girls’ Business Club was the reunion held early in the year. Girls who were senior members last year and have since entered the world of business were invited to see their alma mater. They talked with this year’s members and gave the girls a hint of what their future might hold. The Christmas party held in December was a success. The final event of the year was a field trip in the late spring. Renee Klau prepares for Future Teachers’ Club candy sale. Marilyn Fishberg intently studies the paper she is to type.

CURRICULUM ENRICHED BY A.V.A. Mr. John Szandrocha checks on audio-visual equipment. An enthusiastic and boisterous group of boys, the forty members of the Audio- Visual Aids Association, led by captain David Baker and co-captain Steven Demirjian and advised by Mr. Szandrocha, run projectors to show films, instruct teachers in the use of overhead projectors, and even wash cars in the parking lot to raise money. The boys’ most cherished possession is the new photocopy machine which is found in the library. One organization which involves quite a lot of mental exertion is the Chess Club. Captained by Herbert Pick, the Chess Club had a winning season. High¬ lights of the season were a meet with Conard which ended in a tie, and a shut¬ out of East Hartford High. Undeniably the most humanitarian of all clubs of Weaver is the Junior Red Cross. This year the Junior Red Cross, advised by Mrs. Alice Burstein and Mrs. Barbara Straite, expanded its annual program. Led by President Brenda Mitchell, the club made baskets for the poverty-stricken people at Thanksgiving, and Christmas caroled at the Oak Hill School for the Blind. Expansion came as the Junior Red Cross staff, working in conjunction with the community on the Head Start Project, tutored children on the elementary level. JR. RED CROSS CLUB: Mrs. Alice Burstein, Mrs. Barbara Straite, Brenda Mitchell (president), Irene Grossman, Sha¬ ron Ring, Diane Michaelson, Seth Nussbaum, Hazel Howard, Randi Handleman, Leslie Manselle, Edyse Katz, Sheila How ard, and Thomas Star.
