First-year teachers, Mr. Foy and Mr. Bailey, confer with old -pro Mrs. Clark. Since these three teachers teach in all three grades- fourth, fifth, and sixth - it is nec- essary to discuss any problems or questions they might have. During the first part of February, they received a teachers ' aide. She was Mrs. Edith Westfall. (She was not at Liberty Center in time to include her picture in the year- book. ) Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Graders Greet Mr. Richard Foy is explaining a question to Debby Clark. As the sixth grade instructor, it is up to him to prepare his students for the coming years of Junior and Senior High School. This is done in one way- -by alternating the teachers and giving the students a chance to get used to having a different teacher for every subject. For reading class they sometimes change rooms, similar to the procedure they must follow in later years.
