Jerry Watkins, Art Edmonds, and Kathleen (loss sketch Tom Rittershofer under Mr. McPharlin's watchful eye. ■A lt Knowing that few students will become artists, Mr. MePharlin offers his course largely from the consumer’s viewpoint. 1 Ic believes that a student’s exposure to color and form may help him to select better designed objects in the future. Beginning art is a general introduction to ele- ments of design, and the various media used in the production of the visual arts. In advanced art. the students work on individ- ual problems with a medium of their own choos- ing. Students make posters and decorations for games, dances and the Viking Fair. All classes have weekly practices in life drawing with stud- ents as models. Also found in the art class, is inter school rela- tionship. This enables a student to work on projects from another class. In the spring students take field trips back into nature for landscape drawings. GocH t ecuUuncj, There are thirty high school seniors now enrolled in the Cadet Teaching Program. This is one of the many pre-service and in-service training programs sponsored by the Flint Board of Education. Thirteen elementary schools are participating. The Cadet is in training one hour per day. While in training she studies the behavior of the children and classroom duties, and later is engaged in actual classroom training. This experiment gives each Cadet a two- semester, five hour credit and not only gives the student worth-while training in teaching children, but also helps Cadets decide on fu- ture teaching areas. Cadet Nadine Miller assists teacher Miss Marian Hodges with students, Nancy Salim, Christine Daunt, Craig Berry, and Michael McGinnis at Garfield Elementary School. IO
