The new look in teaching and learning methods came to us this year via funds from the Ford Foundation. ln mathematics and science the T.V.-master-teacher pro- grams became a part of many classes. Advantages to student and instructor are numerous. The second phase of new procedures is the team-approach. Here an expe- rienced teacher and an inexperienced teacher work with two normal size classes in an oversized classroom, equipped with special sound devices and instructional material. Secretarial and student teacher assistance is made available to the team. This procedure gives advantage of several interpre- tations and approaches to a prob- lem. Students become adjusted to the impersonal situation they will experience in college classrooms. They become proficient in listening and taking notes. The team approach also has the benefit of demonstrations, applica- tion, and interpretation. Classroom situations are augumented by vicar- ious experiences. That techniques seeming so new today, will be old stuff in 2,000 A.D. is very likely. 26

Interpretation and dramatic achievement are available through the numerous activities of the DRAMA and PLAY PRODUCTION classes. STAGE This bunch of mixed up kids resort to a debate class. One day they're for the next day they're agin This pro and con stuff sorta helps to keep them confused. CRAFT is an art unto itself. From the moment the play is selected until its dress rehearsal, final presen- tation and the cast party, the stage crew and crafts- men hammer, saw, paste, paint, patch, and pre- tend. These activities and assets qualify one as a good stogecraft man.
