ELEBTS RllB'NSllN FUR PRESIDENT The democratic tradition of voting was again practiced by eighth and seventh graders of Tee jay. This vot- ing, the election of the Student Council of 1961-62 took place on April 20, the same day TJ. was visited by foreign guests. Out of the slate for secretary Kathy DeZonia, Carolyn Klepser, and Kristie Martin, Kristie was elected for the SCA, her manager was Sharon Chin- nis. There were four candidates running for vice president: Yancey Phillips, john Coakley, Teresa Wedding and Ro- ger Graham. John Coakley with Holly Baxendale as his manager won the posi- tion of vice president, after already serving as treasurer during his first year at Tee jay. David Kurtz, Natalie Williams, and Linda Robinson made up a fine list of candidates for president. With Robin Anderson as her manager, Linda Rob- inson won the election. Linda is a three time winner, holding the office of trea- surer in seventh grade, vice president in the eighth, and now president in the oncoming ninth grade. Congratulations and hopes of good luck in the future go to our new officers. Students Appreciate Culture Of the many activities presented to the students of T.-I. the play Genesis and the oral interpretation by Mr. Mar- tin and Mr. Townsend certainly stand out. The magnificent music and sound effects were exceeded only by the spec- tacular acting of Eddie Myers as Adam, janice Whiley as Eve, Mike Saunders as Cain, and Steve Guimond as Abel. In the program presented by Mr. Martin and Mr. Townsend selections varied from prose to poetry and from a serious to a humorous nature. The purpose of the program was for inter- pretation and appreciation of literature. The audiences' responses clearly demonstrated the excellence of both programs. What Is Your Reading Ability? It is of utmost importance that we encourage all students to gain in knowledge more nearly to their poten- tial. As a result of many studies, read- ing instruction is now more individual- ized in the classroom according to needs, interest and levels of reading skills. The questions of capability and reading ability are both factors in the reading program. In order that the individual learner can be effectively taught, his capacity or potential for learning must be dis- covered. His needs must be known. His strengths and his weaknesses in skills must be determined. The developmental reading program for 1962-63 will involve systematic in- struction at all levels and in all content areas for those students who are devel- oping language abilities commensurate with their general ability level. The junior high school develop- mental reading program is to refine and broaden the use of essential skills in all content areas such as: 1-Vocabulary 2-Higher level comprehension skills 3-Study skills related to reading 4-Reading rate 5-Purposeful reading 6-Oral reading 7-Reading interests The teacher must learn the learner before he teaches him. The student must recognize some of his strengths and Weaknesses and have a desire to work for improvement. Exceptional Year For S.C.A. Activityness? Activitiful? Active- ness? Anyway, the idea is that the S.C.A. this year has been a fountain of activitiy, progress, and accomplish- ment. The Student Council has sponsored two major fund raising drives which were both great successes. One of the campaigns was the Fanny Farmer Sale in which students sold boxes of the candy during the Thanksgiving-Christ- mas period. The other drive for Red Cross, brought in a total of 326234. Nine representatives from the S.C.A. went to George Mason High for a con- vention dealing with junior high gov- ernments. They picked up ideas for improving T.j.'s Student Government. The new cafeteria system that now gives you the privilege to sit where you Want as long as you stay there and clean up your own place, was the work of the S.C.A. Ui course, it involved the co-operation of the principal. This plan was inaugurated March l9. Clean Up VVeek was the third week in April. The S.C.A. stirred up en- thusiasm i11 the campaign by having a slogan contest and by announcing names of people who were seen pick- ing up trash. Then the students Went as far as to practice what they preach by taking time out of a regular meeting to pick up trash around the school yard. Remember your Student Council is really you, the student body. The S.C.A. needs your co-operation to be thoroughly effective. You've given it this year 3 letis continue this trend. oaf M .Have ace 19.5 Let us have peace, And no more war. And let us have Forevermore 5 The right to work, And think and live, Not just to take, But just to give. Let us have peace, And let us be, Not bound and chained In slavery. But let each man Make his -own choice, To speak his mind And use his voice. -by Kathy Barrick
