Teachers, too, are meeting personal challenges in learning, or re- learning as the case may be. Because of the challenges of the Space Age, teachers must be worthy of the things they teach, and they must teach worthy things. 2

Uhe Space New times demand new measures and new men The world advances and in time outgrows The laws that in our father ' s day were best And doubtless, after us, some purer scheme Will be shaped out by wiser men than these. Tames Russell Lowell A curriculum for the Space Age has resulted from an attempt of our school to meet the challenges of changes that have come with bewildering suddenness. Seventeen years ago this past July, the first atomic bomb was exploded over the sands of New Mexico. Most of the members of the Class of 1963 were infants or yet unborn. Since the moment of the splitting of the atom, a chain of reactions has usher- ed in the Space Age, highlighted (for the time being) by astronaut John Glenn ' s three- orbital flight around the globe. The members of the Class of 1963, along with many of the lower classmen, have experienced in some measure the fusion of the world with the splitting of the atom and the emergence of the Space Age. As a result of these great changes, they have wit- nessed, within the last year, the world come to the brink of nuclear destruction. It was in these times that history became meaningful in the cry of Thomas Paine when he said: These are times that try men ' s souls. Because of the rapid changes brought about by the Space Age, the schools, being society centered, have changed. They have, through necessity, been receptive to change and willing to meet changing needs. Thus results in Glenwood School, as in most others, A Curriculum For the Space Age. c Student teachers Three student teachers from Appalachian State Teachers College did their practice teaching at Glenwood the first semester. They are Kenneth King, who taught science under Mr. Clyde C. Day; Donald Johnson, who taught social studies and physical edu- cation, with Mr. Paul Flack; and Maxine Fox, who taught the fourth grade, with Mrs. Clara Rayburn. iiiiiii
