Education This year's kickoff started with the largest team of student teachers in the history of Southern Oregon College. Graduating from S.O.C. this year are approximately one-hundred s t u d e n t s with degrees, and one-hundred fifty with three-year certificates. Each education student is required to have fifteen hours of practice teach- ing under competent supervision. Lin- coln School is the main training field, but most students have put in one quar- ter at an outside field either in Ashland or in Phoenix, Talent, or Medford. S.O.C. is the only college in the Northwest that requires two-hundred hours of laboratory experience with chil- dren previous to student teaching. Orga- nized this spring term was a nursery school to help students achieve this goal. One of next year's goals is a block training program in which students can practice teach all day in Grants Pass, Roseburg, Coos Bay, Medford, or Klam- ath Falls and at the same time take night courses in teaching methods. S.O.C. also hopes to carry the ball over the goal line for an outdoor education program for fourth, fifth, and sixth grades which will correlate social stud- ies, science, and health by utilizing the outlying college property for week-end excursions. Head coaches of this department are Dr. John D. McAulay and Dr. William Sampson. Assistant coaches are Miss Edith Bork and Mrs. Betty Dunlop. They and all the education staff are doing a good job in turning out more and better teachers, -1

rt The art department went into a huddle at the beginning of fall term with Miss Ady as head coach. Twenty- three mural unit touchdowns were made at the Camp White Domiciliary Center. Some cartoon murals were put up on the student union field, and a display of ceramic pieces was presented in the li- brary stadium. Mr. Wilda, assistant coach, directed the team to carry the same ceramic lab ball in a play that was instigated by Mr. Whittaker during the 1949 season. Over fifty domestic art books were added to the library, and Kodachrome slides of the team in action at Lincoln Laboratory have increased in number. In the spring, outdoor sketching classes were rallied and modern easels were part of the equipment. According to head coach, Miss Ady, the important function of the team is cooperation with the other department teams, and she says, At S.O.C. we're not training artists in ivory towers, but human beings who seek enriching ex- perience in form, color, texture, and me. l J .
