Miss Loretta Lovitt, student instructor in the Business Department from Madison College was under the supervision of Mrs. H. McCall during her eight weeks of practice teaching at CHS. Culpeper’s three student teachers were each here for an eight-week period. Each of these three Madison College seniors were under the supervision of a CHS faculty member, one in the Social Studies Department, the others in the CHS Business Department. These girls first observed the classroom methods of the teacher to whom they were assigned. Later they had a few duties in the classroom and finally taught the entire period earning a grade for their work. Culpeper High School’s four cafeteria workers arrive with the students before 9 o’clock each school day to begin preparation of the noon meal.
