Rosemary Lambert, Peggy Lampe and Betty Daly plan the activities for Prospective Teachers' Day at Marycrest. EDUCATION The department recognizes that the competent teacher needs more than an ac- quisition of, techniques and methods of teaching. The department seeks, therefore, to make the student increasingly aware, as the educational program develops, of the necessity of a broad education in related areas of the curriculum. It endeavors to strengthen the studentls background, permitting her to transmit the cultural heri- tage to the children and youth she may teach. It will also orient her to the important task of educating youth to accept their Christian social responsibilities and to face the challenge of the future.

Students in the Advanced Journalism class listen attentively as Elaine Campbell reads her own original short story. A period of constructive criticism always follows the reading of student manu- scripts.
