Each year, Port Byron Central has college students who come to teach and observe. They usually come from Syracuse University, Cort- land and Oswego State Teachers Colleges, and are with us for a six or ten week period. The purpose of this period, which is com- pulsory for all college students planning to become teachers, is to provide actual teaching experience. They usually observe for several days and then take over the class. During their Stay, a supervising teacher from their college comes to observe them in class. They are marked and receive comments on their teaching ability. Each cadet must also write an essay concerning some specific topic about our school or the surrounding com- munity. Our school should be pleased to know that they have the teachers and students who war- rant these cadets. After all, only the better school would be chosen to have others gain knowledge and experience from them. These cadets participate in many of our school activities, especially in athletic events. XVe have had several men cadets who have helped coach our J. V. Basketeers. Many of the men and women cadets have played in the Senior-Faculty gameg an annual affair at P. B. XYhile they may not be actually connected with any game, you can often see many of them at our games, cheering enthusiastically for our great teams. These cadets often comment on how much they have enjoyed their stay and how much they regret when this period comes to a close. I'm sure that the students and teachers regret their leaving too, for we all enjoy having these future teachers. CADET First Quarter: Miss jordan Miss Avelino .... , Mr. Kuplinski ...,..

MOLDING YOUNG MINDS XVhen we first start in school, the teachers have the long task of molding our minds, First is the job of teaching us to write, read, and add. After we have mastered these three, the teachers instruct us to use ink, to improve our English and to know about the history of our country. All this work can be accom- plished with the proper guidance of our trained teachers. As we leave the elementary, we start a new way of learning: Core Curriculum. The students learn to work together, because all subjects are linked into one. The teachers are helping us by training us to think more for ourselves. The instructors for the high school teach us more advanced forms of our early subjects. The new subjects taught in the high school are Latin, Agriculture, Homemaking, Indus- trial Arts, Driving, and Commercial work. Each teacher has a special job to do, and does it with good judgment. The teachers are really the unsung heroes of Port Byron Central, because of their never end- . ing jobs. Row 1: Mrs. Doherty, Miss Kennedy, Miss Edwards, Mrs. R. Gates, Miss Gray.

DIRECTING OUR TOUR i Row 1: C. Frank, J. Calkins, S. Lillie, M. VVarren, Miss Tutton Adviser J. Merritt. Row 2: D. Miller, F. Barry, E. Burgess, D, NVilczek, M. Jenks The work of the Guidance Department is concerned primarily with the proper placement of the individual student in grade, course, job, or training' beyond high school to insure his maximum success as a future citizen of the world. This involves such activities as: testing for individual abilities, interests, and aptitudesg furnishing information on courses, careers, and work opportunitiesg making trips with students to schools and colleges: conferences with students, parents, and teachers to keep them informed of the student's progress and to plan for the future. The demands of changing times and world affairs constantly make it necessary to expand the work of the Guidance Department to meet all possible needs of students. The most recent addition to the program is the introduction this year of orientation meetings for boys sixteen years of age and over to keep them up-to-date on draft status, selective service practices, induction procedures, and the opportunities for further education during military service. 7
