The Cody program has never been hampered in its growth by a restrictive philosophy of education. Our school is always ready to adopt those methods and techniques, old or new, which seem likely to contribute most effectively to the learning process. 7e have always been willing to experiment with new methods of teaching One has only to glance into any of the classrooms to see that teaching at Cody is abreast of the modernity apparent in the building itself. In every department, there is evidence of a branching out into more liberal viewpoints. The commercial classes are designed to give students the knowledge required for the business wo-rld, while giving them the experience needed for future positions - through co-operative training, office machines and many other essential courses. Field trips and other outside activities are effective supplements to classroom teaching. One of the most important aids in educating an individual is active participation in areas pertaining to curricular subjects and application of skills while they are fresh in the student's mind. seventeen 1 1

A genuine interest in learning exists among Cody students. This interest is fostered by regular classes as well as individual projects requiring en- thusiasm, and often involving intensive research. At Cody learning is both formal and informal Informal classroom often continues in the halls, the lunchroom, or along the Walk to the bus stop. An atmosphere of informality persists throughout the school, whether with the sports fans on the bleachers at the game, or with the members of an impromptu jam session in the music room. i eighteen
