Fifth grade teacher, Mr. Warren Bailey, explains a problem to two of his pupils. In addition to teaching several subjects to only his fifth-graders, he also teaches English to the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. Fifth-graders learn about one new subject in the fifth grade - geography. This subject seems to interest them not only since it is a new on e, but since it gives them a chance to learn about parts of the world. Two New Teachers This Year Mrs. Francis Clark is telling a story to her fourth graders. She has many displays concerning science in her class- room. This accounts for the name of her book, Luna, which seems to be about a butterfly as it changes from a moth to a beautiful butterfly.

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.
