We learned to write fluently, had understandable concern for dangling participles, run-on sentences, adn the many rules of grammar. With college plans already on the drawing board we renewed our efforts in vocabulary drills, made friends of the dictionary, and found a home away from home in the library.

WA lWPw6'lH In due regard for the theme of teaching career month 1965, the academic profile becomes The Changing Face of Teachingw. Change has become an irritating- ly important word.

Even new school bus additions have changed that long yellow look.
