/ 1 i J Pctge Four THE PANMER’S CLAW February, 1957 CHEERLEADERS IN ACTION Travel Is of Great Interest With Alumni Dudley Students See Schoolroom Progress Dudley students are among visi tors who attended the schoolroom progress , exhibit brought to Greensboro by the Guilford Na tional Bank. The exhibit, three re constructed nineteenth century classrooms and exhibition gallery, was presented by the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village and The Encylopedia Americana, in cooperation with 28 leading American Corporations. Entering the first model, there was a typical frontier school from the early 1800’s patterned after the McGuffey School in Green field Village, Dearborn, Michigan. The furniture consisted of long boards, supported by wooden pegs, for pupils’ desks, making it sim ple, practical, and uncomfortable. Heat was provided by fireplaces, and light, if any, by candle. On the way to the next class room there were museum exhibits of educators and their books, text books used, penmanship, and cer tificates awarded to students. The second classroom represent ed the rural school of the 1870’s based on the Scotch settlement school with some improvement. Here we could see better desks, windows, and walls. For heat, woodbuming stoves were used and furniture now included, bell, black board, clock, slate, and slate pen cils. After the latter period, a vast growth of large cities brought Cheerleaders in action; reading left to right, back row: Catherine Bruner, Jo Ann Simmons, Lola Campbell, Mary Caldwell, Kay Henry; front row: Joan Bass, Verdie Wilkes, leader, and Modesteen Thompson.
