Eastern’s hardworking and stalwart staff of four in the field of education managed to keep abreast of the times during 1950-51 by turning out 21 four-year graduates and some 50 two-year people and placing them in teaching positions throughout the region (Mr. L.

James Connelly and Harry Wolvcrton under supervision of Miss Smiley also were part of turning out of these professionals. An optimistic note is increasing number of students staying for their degree work. Beyond this, there is apparent among school people in this area a strong pressure for the institution of master’s degree courses at Eastern. Let it never be said that the education staff is not vastly ppger to off - such courses! Our motto perhaps might be ‘‘Ad astra per aspera.” Freely translated: We can do the impossible right now; ine miraculous will take a little longer! maiding, and fdacitty.

Among the fuzzier of the photos are some candid shots of students engaged in student teaching, a pastime classed by the strong-hearted as their Baptism of Fire, or Death Where Is Thy Sting?” The baptism occurs daily throughout an entire quarter and is applied in the campus elementary school to Mrs. Allman (above), Henry Miller and Thelma Wertz (below), Doris Bolt (above right, opposite page). Mrs. D. J. Reese, director of the elementary “lab” school and associate professor of education, is pictured above left, opposite page with teaching staff, Mrs. Altimus. Mrs. Simpson. Mrs. Voyta. Miss Nodler. Mrs. Cummings and Mrs. Schuyler (below left, opposite page). Lab school students leave for recess (below right, opposite page) and their play will be supervised by hardy education students. All of which is to say that education students “get the work.” and properly. The program is not an easy one; but then, education of any kind does not come easily. Eastern insists that teaching is an art and a science, and that teaching is the most important job an individual can undertake. This being so. Eastern believes that its duty is to turn out the very finest young people, teachers who will be able to make the education of Montana youth a meaningful and productive process. This is a goal worth striving toward—worth working mighty hard to attain! bc iooC fat exfoenimeat
