FTA Members

participated in a rather unique
program of the FTA. Jim Mayo,

serving an elementary teacher of
their choice to gain first-hand
knowledge of teaching methods
and teacher-student relations on
the grade school level.
The observing students did
more than just watch, though.
Some were asked to grade papers,
help with bulletin boards, and
even answer the questions of the
grade schoolers. Each took care
ful notes on the day's activities
and reported to other FTA mem
bers during their meetings.
Jim spent a day with Miss Marie
Prescott, first-grade teacher at
Briscoe School; Carolyn chose to
observe a speech therapist while
she worked with grade school
children; Diane visited Walker
School; Linda, Bellview; and Vir
ginia spent the day in a Central
Point elementary school.
Clubs To Sponsor
Showing of Films
A topic that has long been listed
under "Old Business' on the stu
dent council agenda is that of the
movies which are to be shown to
the student body as fund-raising
projects.
Working through the Inter-club
Council, clubs may request to
show a film and receive part of
the profits from the sale of tickets
which will cost less than 50c. (As
of now, no definite price has
been set.)
A list of the films, which will
tentatively be shown on Thursday
nights in the lecture hall of the
church, was posted in various
classrooms with a short summary
of each. Students voted for the
one they would mast like to see,
and if time and funds permit,
more will be shown during the
rest of the school year.
The six voted upon were: Bell,
Book, and Candle; The Man from
the Diner's Club; Sail a Crooked
Ship; Cry, the Beloved Country;
A Raisin in the Sun; and The
Devil at 4 O'clock.
