a lot of things to do. There are
about seven of us in the Lab. The
Hoffman is may favorite. I think
that it is fun to all of us. I like it a
whole lot better than going to the
classroom and reading out of
books.
Glenda Whitney: I think that
_ the tab is a very nice place. In
the Lab you get a lot out of it if
you just put your mind to it and
read very carefully. The thing
that I like most is Main Idea. In
the Lab there are lots of other
things such as: SRA, Pilot
Library, Hoffman Reader and
other sorts of things. I think that
the Lab is different because in
the classroom there are a lot of
-people and you can’t con
centrate.
Creative writing always
creates a good opportunity to
conduct Individualized
Instruction, which is the major
teaching method utilized in the
Arapahoe Reading Lab.
Following the writing of the
paragraphs, there was an in
dividual conference with each
student. With the combined
efforts of the student and
teacher, grammatical, pun
cuation, and spelling mistakes
were found and corrections were
made by the student.
We can learn much from
students’ creative writing. When
the paragraphs were read, it
was discovered that the answers
to many of the questions posed
above were incorporated in their
paragraphs. They gave a very
-good summary of many aspects
of the Lab situation. It was then
decided, with their permission,
to share their feelings with you.
Students in the Lab work at
their own pace on reading
materials appropriate to their
needs determined by test results
and teacher judgement. This
assures some sue ess as the
students, with the help of the
teacher and the teacher’s aide,
progress into more difficult
levels of reading materials.
Much effort is made to create
an atmosphere which is con
ducive to learning.

Orental Recreation News
The Recreation Department is
happy to announce that a new
clubhouse has been obtained for
the Oriental Kids. It is located
next door to the old clubhouse
and right next to the Park. Many
kids turned out to help in the big
move from one house to the
other. The first thing we did was
to clean out the new house so the
sofa, TV, bumper pool table, and
other equipment could be moved
in. Mike Page, Whit Kemp, and
Gary Slade carried the heavy
furniture over to the new
clubhouse.
The second job undertaken
was to paint the kitchen. The
house was in fairly good con
dition and the kitchen was the
only room that needed painting.
Two cans of white paint were
donated by Ed Thompson for the
job. Sammy Swindell, Susan
Thompson, and Buddy Midyette
did most of the painting while Ed
Thompson put the finishing
touches on the ceiling.
While the kitchen was being
painted we worked on cleaning
out the old clubhouse. The house
was left in much better condition
than when we got it. The kids
worked hard on improving its
stating that Miss Ruby Googe is
still in this state.
Mrs. John Morton lighted the
third candle in honor of the local
Alpha Psi Chapter which was
formed from Sigma Chapter of
Kinston April 3, 1965. She also
read the names of the charter
members.
Closing the program, Miss

and presented each with a long
stemmed red rose. They were:

Sawyer, Mrs. Earle Smith, Mrs.

the front and back porches and
hauled away ten truckloads of

that needed to be done to the old
clubhouse was for it to be swept
out and the games to be moved
next door. Kay and Michelle
Page worked hard on washing
the windows and trimming the
bushes around the new
clubhouse. Even though
everyone was working hard we
did take time out to play tennis,
ping pong, and volleyball.
After all the cleaning, pain

Oriental should be very proud to
