It is also to inter– est and encourage students in the teaching profession. This year, the 60 members of FTA, with their advisor, Miss Loretto Miller, sponsored many worthwhile projects. During Notional Education week, they distributed apples to every teacher in the building as a tribute to their work in teaching. On Career day, March 29, they aided guest speakers and took on active port in Bock To School night in the fall. In the fall when the State Teachers' con– vention was held, FTA members gained expe– rience while helping in various ways. The club also heard speakers such as Dr. Johnson, President of the Notional College of Education and sow many different movies on the fundamentals of education and teaching .
