Yancey School Personnel
At Educational Workshop
The summer months when
children are not in school is of
ten interpreted to be a time
when school personnel have lit
tle to do. Just the opposite is
actually the fact of the matter.
The summer months provide an
opportunity for school personnel
to spend some time acclimating
themselves with the ever-chang
ing educational concepts. The
school administrators as well as
teachers spend as much time as
possible in upgrading their com
petencies.
One such effort, a workshop
planned by the administrative
personnel of Ashe, Avery, Alle
ghany, Alexander, Caldwell,
Lenoir, Mitchell, Watauga,

The thoroughly Russian Shos
takovich Trio was played with
great vigor by Jan Toth, Eva
Ell and Rith Geiger.
The next concert is schedul
ed for Sunday, July 1, at 3:30
p.m. at the FYesbyterian Chinch
Burnsville. A Beethoven sere
nade will be followed by a
Brahms trio.
Mr. Ell has pointed out that
"the serenade originally was a
piece to be played at social
gathering. By Beethoven's
time it had progressed beyond
this and become a more for
mal composition, to be per-
first aid, from removal of splin
ters to broken bones, accidental
poisoning, etc. 1
The course will consist of
five two hour sessions. Every
mother who completes the course
will know what immediate steps
to take in minor cases; and, in
mere serious situations,what to
do and NOT to do until tie child
can receive necessary treatmait
in a doctor's office or in the
emergency room of a hospital.
There is no charge for this
course, Mr. Van Horn said,ex

chairs, any small tables straight

American pieces if we can get
them, " said Voss. "We are also
searching out inkwells, feather
quills, pewter mugs, and even
parchment—the sort of things
our colonial forebears might
have used. "

But it still retained its lig bt
character. Beethoven has ac
complished tills in his serenade
for flute, violin and viola. "
Ruth Geiger, pianist in the
forthcoming Brahms trio, haj
explained that "the hom trio,
written by Brahms in his pouth,
is light-hearted. It is a vir
tuoso piece, difficult for each
of the three pdayeis. " As an
interesting aside, she related
"in one of Clara Shumann's
letters to Brahms she professed
admiration for the piece and
described the last movement
