L. Michael, com- mercial department head, first hit onto the idea of doing correspondence Work. All the schools had been closed and the teachers had kept on giving assignments to be worked out at home.

Today one must have his Master's degree to join the PUHS faculty. l-le must also be Well trained in his special field and understand the needs of his students. lt is not too much to say that because Phoenix l-ligh students have had outstanding teachers We can trace the prog- ress of alumni who are making a bright mark in the World today. if v OFFICERS of the Classroom Teachers' Association gather for a confab.
