Through Foundation The Columbus School Foundation was created for the purpose of maintaining the highest quality in edu- cational training in the Columbus schools. The work of the Foundation extends through every level of edu- cation in the school system. The Foundation presents scholarships to faculty members for advanced study in their chosen field. The three purposes of the Foun- dation are to further educational opportunities for students and faculty of Columbus schools, to develop and promote interest in education, and to stimulate teaching and teaching methods. The Foundation has also sponsored speakers before special student convocations in connection with the program of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and also provided speakers for the teacher workshop at the start of the fall school term. In addition it supplied funds for school purchase of equipment to be used in audio-method teaching of a foreign language. These are only a few of the ways in which the Foundation has helped the faculty of Columbus High School get better as it gets bigger. MRS. CAROL MILLER Through a travel course offered by Ball State Teachers College, Mrs. Miller spent five weeks in the NORTHWEST to study all areas of science. She brought back an increased understanding of nature, geology, astronomy, and atomic products. Mrs. Miller traveled by train, bus, plane, and boat. Another means of travel was mountain hiking. MR. WEBB SALMON To broaden his knowledge of English and writing, Mr. Salmon attended Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College, Mid- dlebury, Vermont. The courses that he took ranged from the study of the formation of the English lan- guage to the study of American novelists and creative work. The skills learned in these courses were brought back and used in all of Mr. Salmon ' s classes. 11

Students Win Honors Ronald Orman examines his electrical project. In C.H.S., as in any other high school, there are students who are willing to work harder and who in turn will receive many deserved rewards. The students at C.H.S. have excelled in many different things. The Columbus aqua stars exerted extra effort to win their first state swimming championship at Purdue University. Roger Callahan, a senior at C.H.S., was one of the Junior Red Cross members chosen to tour Europe. The purpose of his trip was to see the conditions that the people in other countries live under and also to spread a better understanding of the United States. Ronald Orman, also a senior, won the state electric contest in 4-H and received a trip to Washing- ton, D. C. The Columbus High School Thespians were honored when they were invited to present a one-act play at the Southern Indiana District Confeernce at Salem, Indiana, in the fall.
