A little known but greatly appre
ciated senior privilege wll go into
effect November 4. At 7:15 a. m.
that day, Salem’s Student teachers
|vill appear dressed and ready for
a reassuring cup of coffee befora
§mbarking on their six-week care
ers as student teachers. The tran
sition from school girl to profes
sional woman will climax a semes
ter’s experience in Salem’s unique
plan for training of teachers—the
block program.
The program is unique for
several reasons. It gives the stu
dent preparing to enter the teach
ing profession the opportunity to
spend an entire semester of conce
ntrated work with . the Education
‘Department, without responsibility
for courses in other departments.
This allows flexibility of structure
•^ithin the department, and also
gives each girl the opportunity to
develop closer relationships with
faculty members in the department.
The' first six weeks of the se
mester are spent in a consolidated,
•ifco-ordinated study of child devel
opment, and teaching methods. In
the study of child development,
:'|ach girl observes for one period a
week in the school where she will
later be a student teacher, choosing
one child for study in-depth
through observation of the child in
the classroom and knowledge of his
accumulated record as a student.
The methods study acquaints the
prospective teacher with theories
of learning and problems of learn
ing a s teachers encounter them.
Secondary teachers study general
methods with Dr. Elizabeth Welch;
.elementary, with Dr. Lucia Karnes,
^ach girl prepares to teach her
Iwn subject through specialized
^ethods courses under the super
vision of James Bray (English and
Social Studies), Mrs. Pauline Kuy
kendall (home economics), Antony
Swider (art), and Dr. Welch
(languages), and Miss June Samson
(music methods). At the conclusion
of this six week study time, the
students spend two days taking
exams.
While each girl is student teach
ing, she is observed once a week
by members of the Education De
partment, and at least once by Dr.
Welch and once by a member of
the faculty in her major field of
study. In addition, each girl has a
conference with members of the
department, and they confer with
her critic teacher. After Christmas,
each girl has a chance' for evalu
ation interviews, and an oppor
tunity to contribute her opinions
to a letter written about her work.

Salemites Aid
GOP Cause
By Sterling Winstead
Are Salem students irresponsive
to activities outside their campus
atmosphere ? I don’t think so. Since
October 8, many Salem girls have
been actively campaigning for Re
publican candidates Richard Nixon
and Jim Gardner.
The student movement is led by
Mike Lewis, head of Youths for
Gardner in Western North Caro
lina. He has also assumed the role
of heading the youth campaigning
for Nixon in this area.
Students from Salem and Wake
Forest started campaigning at the
opening of the Dixie Classic Fair
held in the Winston-Salem Coli
seum. Wearing a navy skirt, white
blouse and a banner saying, “Jim
Gardner for Governor,” each girl
walked around the fair handing out
pamphlets and Republican buttons.
Although the work is strictly on a
voluntary basis and workers are
not paid, each received a free pass
to the fair.
On Election Day, students will
be at the Republican Headquaters
on Main Street. They will be doing

city in Wales? No. it’s none of
these. It is simply Cyrano de Ber
gerac referring to the unusual size
of his nose . . . Does not Aristo
phanes mention a mythological
monster called Hippocampelephan
tocamelos? Surely we have here
the original.”
Edmond Rostand’s classic tragi
comedy will come to life in Hanes
Auditorium Friday evening, October
25, presented by the Inspiration
Players.
Rostand, a neo-romanticist, wrote
the play in 1897. His lyric vigor
gave the great American actors,'
Richard Mansfield and Walter
Hampden an opportunity to excel
in this swashbuckling romance.
Since then the role has been made
famous by such renowned actors
as Jose Ferrer in the film version,
and Cyril Ritchard in the 1957
Broadway revival. Cyrano is often
compared with Hamlet as being the
dream role of every serious actor.
Oh yes, that word again—it’s pro
nounced Hippo - camp - elephant-o-
camelos—we think! But to be sure,
drop in on Cyrano around 8:15 p.m.
