Wawasee FT A chapter named best in state

The Wawasee chapter of Future Teachers of America was named to top FTA chapter in the state of Indiana at the FTA state convention at Arsenal Technical high school in Indianapolis last Saturday. Wawasee won the honor chapter award which is emblematic of the highest excellence in the Indiana FTA program. The award, which Wawasee won last year also, was based on points received for completing the most outstanding local programs and projects throughout the year as well as for active participation in the area and state FTA programs. Ann Brice accepted the award for Wawasee during the morning convention activities. Runnersup for the award included the FTA chapters at Benton Central, New Albany and Van Buren high schools. Wawasee also won the award for the best FTA scrapbook in over-all competition as well as four divisional awards. Kelly Carvajal, chapter historian, who was in charge of preparing the scrapbook, accepted the plaque for best-over-all honors plus ribbons for honorable mention in cover design and layout, a second in theme and a first in content materials. It was the fourth straight year Wawasee has won scrapbook awards and the second time in three years that Wawasee has won the best over-all award. Two individuals in the Wawasee FTA ; won awards in state-wide contests. Cindy Rapp won an engraved plaque for winning the contest for writing a new state theme song for FTA and Becky Replogle won a similar award for winning the contest for a new state pledge. The new song and pledge were used in opening ceremonies at the convention. The major reason for the contest for new FTA song and pledge was the changing of the organization’s name from Future Teachers of America (FTA) to Students for Action in Education (SAE) by which it will now be known. Membership will now be open to students who want to help improve education but who do not plan to go into teaching. The change resulted after a majority vote of convention delegates. Becky Installed Becky Replogle, who was elected vice president for area two last fall, was installed into her office during ceremonies in the afternoon convention activities. She took over the office held thjs year by Anne Huntsman of Central Noble high school, Albion, and will serve on the state executive council and will coordinate area FTA activities. Other students from area two (of which Wawasee high school is a part) who won offices and honors
