This is the true story. What
it was was a summit meeting.
The two groups were together
in one of those pseudo-friendly
deals to discuss a truce. The set
up was to come unescorted,

“The best possible education
for eiach child” was established
as a goal by the future teach
ers of North Carolina at the
annual convention of the Stu
dent NEA held in Raleigh on
November 11. Sylvia Smith,
Jerrie Johnson, and Dr. Helen
Ingram represented St. An
drews College in the series of
discussions and programs.
In the sixties, which have
been called the “Age of Power.”
a giant step forward is needed
to bring the quality of educa
tion up to date.
Along with higher salaries
for teachers, decided the group,
should come stricter teacher re
quirements. such as mandatory
Master’s Degrees. Other ideas
suggested were a twelve-month
school year, clerical assistants
for teacihers, and scholarships
for promising young teachers.
A “Talk^a-Round” s e s sion
was held during which dele
gates to the convention expres
sed their ideas on projects and
memberships drives that would
benefit the individual chapters.
“Student Teaching: Problems,
Issues, and Responsibilities”
was the topic of a panel com
posed of College Supervisors.
Supervising Teachers, a sec
ond year teacher, student tea
chers. and high school students.
Leadership of the students
was the main point stressed by
this discussion. The panel de
cided that a beginning teacher
must have enthusiasm, show
good planning, put the pupil
first, and teach on the level of
the class. The issues which
were discussed were of a practi
cal nature and were aimed to
ward aiding the beginning
teacher in her classroom re
sponsibilities.
that point.
History doesn’t really sliow
what was said or decided, b«t
we are sure that they ate. That
was a mix-up too. It seems that
the whole thing was an attempt
at propaganda. Both groups
wanted to impress the other
powers in the area, and so they
intended to show their strength
by supplying the food. With
both bringing so much, and
with this over abundance on
hand, there was nothing to do
but consume as much as pos
sible. This is a you-eat-some-of-
mine-or-I-won’t-eat-any-of-yours
sort of thing to show good
faith. (They’re always very nice
about the incidental details.)
Anyway, as a result of this,
good fellowship and aU that,
things became quite pleasant
for a short time. The presence
of the little keg that one al
ways sees over to one side of
the picture may have had some
thing to do with this, but no
body is sure.
Everyone had such a good
time that they decided not to
kill each other, or at least not
at that particular moment. The
main result was they all woke
up the next morning with in
digestion or something very
similar. Nobody was sure whose
fault this was, so they delayed
the war a little longer until all
were sufficiently recovered.
Things must not really have
been so different then. Every
body has problems. The trick,
's to find some way to forget
■ cm now and then. Tha-'.k;,"'
■ a good time for that.
