Making Education A Career Checking some stored material, John Hig- gens and Angela Lawson learn how our li¬ brary works. Randy Hauser, Greg Felts, and Brian Wil¬ liams take some notes to use for reference. The card file is a major part of any refer¬ ence room. Here Mrs. Bowers explains how it is used. The Library Club is sponsored by Mrs. Jean Bowers. It is con¬ cerned with learning how a library runs and works from day to day. The members have used the pro¬ ceeds from candy sales to go out to eat and go on various field trips. A trip to the High Point Library proved to be a very enlightening excursion. The club also toured the Z. Smith Reynolds Library on the campus of Wake Forest Uni¬ versity. Back at the school, they studied the operation of a Chris¬ tian High School library. 68 Library Club

Sign Language, left to right: Carolyn Midkiff, Tracy Sizemore, Donna Berry, Scott Brown, Sammy Wood, Sharon Gray, Greg Felts, Angela Lawson, Beth Tuttle, Tracy Cecile. Beth Tuttle practices her signs as Sammy Wood looks on. Sign Language has become more popular than ever before this year because one of our senior boys, Sammy Wood, is deaf. The class worked hard so they could learn to communicate with Sammy and were busy interpreting for him. So the hand gestures are not fight¬ ing, but a language among our stu¬ dent body. The entire student body has been encouraged to learn our school Alma Mater since our games are also attended by deaf adults. Woodland Christian School is the only private school in our area that has sign language as a sub¬ ject and also involvement with the deaf community. Two of our past graduates had deaf parents and we appreciate their support to our school as they shared in our activi¬ ties through the years. By instructing in sign language, Nancy Ash¬ ley shared her talent with others. Sign Language 67

Future Teachers of America 69 F.T.A. officers Krista Parks, Kellie Whitaker, Michelle Hart and Robin Patterson preside at a meeting. The Future Teachers of America club is sponsored by Mrs. Jackie Rawlings. The main purpose of the club is to honor the teacher of the month. After the recipient is voted on, that teacher is present¬ ed with a banner to hang on his or her classroom door. The winner also receives a boutonniere or cor¬ sage. The banner was made by the F.T.A. members and the flow¬ ers were bought by money re¬ ceived as dues. The members were also assigned to be teacher’s aides. Various speakers and films also helped to make the club more interesting. Mrs. Rawlings and the club members pause for a group picture during an assem¬ bly.
