Enroll In Summer Courses Homework — tests — lectures — and worst of all, summer school! Is this the ordeal of a hapless student who failed last year’s course? Not quite. Last summer many members of the faculty stepped across the “grade barrier” — from “teacher teaching” to “student taught.” A variety of teacher-training programs were taken. Mrs. Aurelia Hazlegrove and Mrs. Velma Flippen finished summer courses at Longwood. Mrs. Flippen, along with Mrs. Nancy Reynolds, also. completed an audiovisual course at Powhatan. Mesdames Nancy Reynolds, Irene Hardy, Ethel Southall, Robbie Whitlock, Carrie Dowdy, Jane Womack, Jacqueline Pepper, Ethel Wilson, Georgia Goodman, and substitutes Katherine Farmer and Ernestine Timberlake all participated in a reading course at Luther P. Jackson School. In the mock presidential election sponsored by the S.C.A., Mrs. Elizabeth B. Gilliam casts her vote while Tim Sumner checks her name on the voting list. MRS. NANCY N.
