mm Page Four Salem Chooses Elsie Macon As “Miss Student Teacher” By Jean Davenport Elsie Macon of Raleigh began her exams with a new idenity, that of Miss Representative Student Teacher of Salem College. After facing a “screening committee” of Salem faculty members and school officials, Elsie was notified of her selection. She completed her practice teach ing before Christmas in the first and second grades at Sedge Gar den and North Elementary schools. “The best teacher is one who really loves to teach,” observed Elsie. An elementary teacher has a big challenge, Elsie claims^ She has to teach her students how to read from the very beginning. She added that, “sometimes they don’t even know how to tell time or to tie their shoes.” Elsie thinks that it’s most im portant that her students like her, although an elementary teacher has to maintain discipline. “Dislike of his teacher can make a child hate school all the way through.” Elsie ^ound that by treating her students as people who have ideas and problems of their own she be came a friend as well as a teacher. The success of her philosophy is apparant in the attitude of one of her little girls who said, “When I grow up I’m going to change my THE SALEMITE name to Miss Macon. When she was a counsellor at Camp Morehead two summers ago, Elsie-became interested in teaching small children. She had a group of six and seven year olds. “I washed faces, brushed teeth and tied shoes all summer and loved it.” she said. Some of her children at Sedge Garden had never been on a train. As part of a unit on transportation, she planned a train trip. Eiarly one morning Elsie took “her child ren” to the train station in Greens boro. They toured the station, bought tickets, and boarded the train for Winston-Salem. The children ate candy sent by the father of one of the students. The porter demonstrated making up a berth, and Elsie said she had as good a time as the children. Elsie will represent Salem at a North Carolina Education Asso ciation meeting in Asheville in March. There she will be pre sented along with other Repre sentative Student Teachers from various colleges. A senior at Salem, Elsie has a major in English. This year she is president of the L R. S. and associate editor of the annual. She is also a member of the May Day committee and has been a member of Future Teachers of America for two years.
