With two years behind us as one of CTC ' s larg- est classes, we returned this September only to be separated as we, not without some misgivings but with great hopes for progressive education, found this the semester for practice teaching. Half the class went into their pre-practice work, as had pre- ceding classes, in the outlying schools where they later taught as student teachers for the semester Feb- Tuary-June. However, the set-up for the rest of the class was not traditional. Instead of going to neigh- borhood schools, pre-practice students were all as- signed to Parker Elementary. Here the first groups to present their units taught in committees of threes. Student-teaching supervisors then got together and decided to reverse the order; pre-practicers moved again to their community practice schools. With the class absent from the College a great deal, the job of planning activities was a difficult one. Under president Laurette Dunne, the officers met with the class to form the committee for the first fling. Secretary Shirley Mansfield ' s minutes read for a roller skating party. Any report on the success would have been written in extravagant terms to illustrate the turnout and the fun involved- even the books of treasurer Ruth Miller agreed. After this initial activity, we tackled our Christ- mas project, the supplying of cigarettes, candy or games to the men at Hines Hospital. Money collected prcSvided all the men in the Fleet Ward with these Christmas tokens from the juniors. Spring vacation and the Bond-i-Gras! We sold our bonds and stamps backgrounded by the human oddities of our carnival freak show as the class displayed its talents. Vacation found a class more intent on its direc- tion. World events had shown us more than books could the globular need for honest teachers, well prepared. We enter our senior year with hopes of learning further to fulfill this need.
