"School Marms” Relate Class Experiences
gyery weekday morning, a fami-
jjjr scene is enacted on the Salem
campus- Nine droppy-eyed seniors
wander out of Bitting and head for
tie dining hall where they eat an
extra large portion of Wheaties;
so they will be prepared for the
rough hours ahead. Then they
roove on to the order of the day,
practice teaching.
■yViley Elementary is the tempo
rary home of the future first grade
teachers, Nollner Morrisett and
Nancy Cridlebaugh. The girls were
quite surprised to find that there
is a time in your life when you
don’t know that C-A-T spells cat,
or that 2 and 2- equal four. Even
more surprising was how hard it
was to teach these to six year olds.
Curt Wrike, Becky Hinkle, Nancy
Sexton, and 'Martha Ann Bowles
are now spending all of their spare
minutes decorating calendars, makv
ing up songs, and dreaming up a
little story to introduce each spell
ing word. They are also at Wiley.
Of course all is not in vain. Bar
bara Rowland has already received
a letter from one of her seven year
old admirers saying I love you, and
Anis Ira is now known as “pretty
Miss Jra.”
The afternoons pass a little dif
ferent for the six girls practicing
in the secondary schools. You can
find Martha Jarvis and Peggy In
gram in the reference room of the
library frantically trying to find
out as much about a subject as
some of their students know. Both
girls are at Reynolds High—Martha
in speech, and English, and Peggy
in home economics.
Phyllis Carswell and Beverly
Hietikko are trying to make the
students at Northwest love gram
mar and American history, and
still teach them some of the facts.
Ellie Mitchell and Martha Lackey
feel that as long as they have tg
drive to Southwest High they might
as well go on down to Charlotte
for a movie.
Despite all of this, the future
teachers seem to enjoy their work
and are looking forward to being
in complete charge of their classes
next year.
Of course they always have the
consulation that, after the 13 of
November, they will be able to
sleep till noon.
Middlebury Summer School
Offers Unique Experience
Hola, Dobre Utre, or Bonjour!
are typical greetings among stu
dents at Middlebury’s summer lan
guage school in Middlebury, Ver
mont.
The college is essentially a grad
uate school but accepts a limited
number of undergraduates. There
are five schools where one may
study Russian, French, Spanish,
Italian or German. Each student
signs a pledge on the. first day of
arrival giving his word of honor
not to speak English until the
closing of the -six weeks session.
No radios are allowed and news
papers and magazines must be read
in the foreign language.
The school is unique in that there
is an average of eight students to
each professor. The professors live
in the dormitories and^ they and
their families take their meals with
students in the school dining rooms
They also participate in all schooi
activities so that one has unusual
opportunities to learn about thq
native country and culture where
the foreign languages are spoken.
Extracurricular activities include
special lectures by the professors
themselves who very likely are
I well known for their literary achi-
I evements, weekend trips to his-
torical sites or perhaps across the
Canadian border to visit Quebec
or Montreal, song fests after din
ner, games to test vocabulary, out
standing films, folk and social dan
ces, dinners or parties at the Dog
Team or at one of the other inns
which accommodate skiers during
the winter season, picnics and hikes
in the mountain and lake country
side, and theatrical productions for
those wh6 want to show off their
fluency in a foreign tongue.
The college also has graduate
schools of French in Paris and
Spanish in Madrid. Attendance at
the summer school is mandatory
prior to application for study
abroad.

Sure are lots of fads and
fancy stuff to smoke these
days. Look ’em over —
then settle down with Camel,
a real cigarette. The exclu
sive Camel blend of costly
tobaccos has never been
equalled for rich flavor
and easygoing mildness.
Today, more people smoke
Camels than any other
cigarette.
So good and mild
the finest taste in smoking!
