much longer will we be able
to work on our project?”
Using a holiday theme,
Miss JoAnn Wheeler, math
lab teacher, decided upon a
three-week math project
which would make the needed
skills of measurement,
fractions and money become
real experiences for the
students.
The focal point of the math
project was the purchase of
the Traditional Christmas
Tree for the lab. But first
money had to be raised; and
a bake sale was decided upon.
Getting a thorough lesson
in the different forms of
measurements, students
brought messy cookie
ingredients and portable
ovens to school, actually
made, and baked the cookies
themselves. Making change
and counting money was
stressed as students set up a
Bakery and sold their wares
to all students who came to
the lab.
With close to $7 clutched in
their hands one math group
was taken to A & P where
their big purchase was made.
The real value of money was
impressed upon them as they

alone selected the best tree
within their financial ranges.
Back at White Oak, the
math lessons continued in
place values, addition and
other basic skills, as only
“Math Ornaments” were
made to decorate the tree.
Reinforcement of the math
lessons, plus added language
arts practice, came about
with the making of a
paraphrased book of “Twas
the Night Before Christmas”
to tell how they combine
math and Christmas.
Like “Little Jack Homer
who sat in a comer eating his
Christmas pie”, these math
students were rewarded for
learning their lessons so well.
Their teacher and aides
brought six pies for the six
math classes to divided
themselves for the whole
class—just one more little
fractional lesson using a
fractional pie as the tool and
treat.
Well Known
For Decorations
CHAPEL HlLL—lt’s been
called “Christmas Town,
U.S.A.” Each year McAden
ville, N.C., hosts many tour
ists and photographers want
ing to capture in memory
and on film the thousands of
lights and Christmas scenes.
This year, state residents
who can’t make the trip can
enjoy the sights, anyway. The
UNC-TV Network will feature
scenes from McAdenville in
its season greetings between
programs on all of its eight
channels.
According to McAdenville
Chief of Police J. A. Swanson,
the lighting celebration
began in 1947.' Because of
thier interest in the Christ
mas decorations, Mr. and
Mrs. W. J. Pharr, who own
Pharr Yams and Stowe Mill,
have encouraged the ex
pansion of Christmas Plans
over the years to include the
entire town.
Each year the McAdenville
Women’s Club awards first,
second and third prizes to
the best decorated homes.
Then on December 23, a yule
log is carried from Pharr’s
mill through town to the
community center where it is
lit and a Christmas party,
complete with Santa arriving
On the local fire truck, is held.
Among the scenes featured
in the UNC-TV greeting are
the decorated trees lining the
town reservior which has a
lighted fountain spray in the
center. The scenes were
photographed last Christmas
by Bob Royster, director of
program operations at UNC
TV. The television greetings
were produced by Bobby
Dobbs, continuity director.
