28 THE PILGRIM FROM A GRADUATE State Normal School Bridgewater, Mass. February 23, 1931 Dear Pilgrim : As a member of the editorial staff of The Pilgrim, it was some- times my duty to solicit letters from members of our faculty and others. I never thought, however, that I should be asked to write for publication. Since no definite sub- ject was suggested, I shall have to select one that is constantly before me. The subject on which I shall touch is the profession of school teaching. So many people think that a teacher merely walks into a room, opens a book, and asks Johnny how much eighteen plus seven is-these same people do not realize that the teacher must teach Johnny two hundred and forty-iive simple addition facts before he can do the problem. It is rather diflicult to imagine children as problems. However, one of the tasks of a teacher is to sum- marize each pupil's individual faults and charactaristics--and that is no easy thing to do. One does not have to be a mem- ber of this school long to sympa- thize thoroughly with the teachers he has had in the past. The school teacher of today is a well-trained, well-educated pro- fessional-one who must follow higher education constantly. Per- haps that is the secret of success in any business-but certainly it is in school teaching. School teachers must keep up-to-date through con- stant studying. This subject could be the basis of a ten-column article without even scratching the surface. It is an extremely interesting way of employing one's self. In conclusion, however, may I say that a good high school background is inval- uable, but this background comes only through student cooperation with the teacher. Advice of this nature seldom is heeded in high school-however, it does not take many months of experience after graduation before one says, Oh, if I had only studied harder in high school! . Sincerely, I Kenneth A. Cameron 1 1930 Pilgrim Staff 1931

The football team, despite pre- dictions, brought the South Shore Championship to Plymouth High for the third successive year. This our boys should repeat for the fourth time next season, for the entire varsity will return With the exceptions of Captain Spath and Sullivan. The basketball team had a poor season, but with the entire varsity coming back-all We say is- Watch out. The track team has also been Weak, but, since the entire team is returning, maybe they, too, will do things. Plymouth High swam away with the Brockton Y swimming meet for the second successive year. We're expecting another shield next sea- son as the same team will return. The baseball team has hit the Winning column after three defeats and, barring the unexpected, it ought to stay in it. All the varsity will return With the exception of. uscag-19 BASEBALL CN the thirtieth of April, Plym- outh High opened itse baseball season by losing a close game to Middleboro with the score 4 to 2. --.2 ima rr Couran--2 FOR YOUNG MEN Burdett College offers Business Ad- ministration and Accounting Courses as preparation for sales, credit, financial and accounting positions.
