Wichterman for Philosopher-King! Hundreds of MIHS students gathered at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport on October 5, i964 to welcome Mr. James Wichterman home. He was returning from Yale where he was recognized as one of the nation's four out- standing secondary school teachers. Yole's outstanding secondary school teaching awards were estab- lished three years ago. Under the award plan, outstanding high school teachers are nominated by Yale undergraduates or by col- leagues and school officials. A committee then seeks extensive confirming evidence of teaching excellence before the final selec- tions are made. Professor Gordon said the purpose of the annual Yale prizes is to recognize the importance of secondary school teachers in this country. The standards of any college are largely dependent on the quality of the training of the students who come to college and this quality stems from secondary school teachers. Honors were also bestowed upon Mr. Donald Miller who received an appointment from the government to assist in set-ting up and directing seventy-eight teacher-training institutes in New Delhi, India. Specifically, Mr. Miller was the assistant to the director in New Delhi. The project combined the ioint efforts of lndian and American ed- ucators with the American support coming from the United States Agency of International Development. With organizational work begun in January, 1965, the institutes were scheduled to start at the end of April. At completion, the un- dertaking had established fifty institutes for teachers on the sec- ondary level and twenty-eight institutes for college teachers. After about six months of work, Mr. Miller was scheduled to return here to resume his teaching career. Our world is filled with pulsating activity excitement, tension, happiness, sadness.
