But the word, innova tion, or what it means, is really not new in the Yancey County School System. Here, Super intendent Landrum Wilson, his staff, and a group of dedicated teachers have undertaken an innovative program at the Pen sacola School. The program is called "nore graded, " which means that each child is being taught at his own level and proceeds through the curriculum at his own pace. When the program is fully developed, the child ren will no longer receive the standard grade card. In it's place, the child's parents will receive an evaluation of his work. The non-graded concept is, in many ways, a revival of the old, one-room school, in corporating many tried and tes ted teaching methods, with new methods being constantly de veloped. In the non-g rad e d program, students may be work ing on different studies at the same time in the same class room. One student may be studying English, another math, another history, while the teacher is working with each of them. Mrs. Orlena J. Anglin is serving as principal <f the school and upon her shoulders falls not only the organization of the program, but teaching in it as well. Mrs. Anglin is high in her praise of the school staff. They are Una C. Maney who has students from kindergarten through the second grade. Mrs. Hettie H. Price teaches the third and fourth grades. Mrs. Melinda G. Turner is teacher for the fifth and sixth grades, and Mrs. Anglin teaches the seventh and eighth grades. There are also three aides that help carry out this prog ram. These are Mrs. Doris Ann Whi ten er who serves with the Kin dergarten children, Mrs. Gladys Byrd who is in the library, and Janhell Wilson who is teacher aide. Mrs. Anglin says of the one year-old program, "It is good, because it is getting us away from the old method of gradiig students by A, B, C, D, F." Superintendent Wilson agrees, noting that in this type of sit - uation, a-student really does not fail. "This method, "Wilson said, "helps to develop a child's ego, and he should never taste de feat until he has a string of successes to fall back on. " "The non-grade program is one of self-accomplishment," Wilson adds, "and allows a child to work at any given thing until he can do it, thus strengthening his ego and abi lity to accomplish." Educators maintain environment has a lot t o do with learning. That being the case, there should be a lot of learning going on in the next few years at Pensacola School. This beautiful ninety- stu - dent school is located ten miles south of Burnsville in a valley surrounded by mountains and sparkling streams. The schcol itself is hospital clean and is equipped with a neat, well arranged lunchroom, library, and sickroom. "It is a natural place for this program," superintendent Wilson commented, "and it is going to give every child there a better chance to learn. " 4-H Camp Held 4-H Camp was held June 7 through 12 at Schaub 4-H Camp near Waynesville,N.C. Thirty-one boys and girls at tended the camp along with Mrs. Bunny Guyer, 4-H lead er and Mr. Pat Guyer and Miss Carol Pyle, Extension Agents. We arrived Monday after noon and returned Saturday morning. Within those days was a week packed with many learning experiences, much fun and delicious food. Var ious classes held during the morning hours included swim ming, handicraft, recreation, wildlife, canoeing, and elec tric. Some of the nights ac - tivities were a Scavenger Hunt, trip to Ghost Town, Ta 1 ent Show and Banquet. This was a very worthwhile experience for all the boys and girls. We hope that other boys and girls will have an op portunity to participate more fully in the wide range of 4-H activities available to them. . — i —:;--TSSBE . ffirtng [Professional L’Photography .
