O' JEeasutedt Reading, and writing, and 'rithmetic, taught to the tune of a hickory stick . That use of the “big stick , however, can hardly be said to describe our faculty, for in spite of the work they have in teaching large classes, they use no coercion toward us, but take time to assist us in every way. There are few schools where teachers have such an intense interest in the personal growth of each student. Much to the credit of the faculty, CSTC is known as a friendly school. Whenever we meet our teachers in the hall, they have time for a cheery hello”. They are glad to give of their time to talk to us and listen to our problems and are willing to help us not only in our classroom work but in our extra-curricular activities. The faculty carries on this friendly attitude, not only with the students, but with each other. Through a democratic system they choose one faculty member to head the faculty group and preside at all meetings. At regular intervals the faculty meets to discuss problems pertinent to the welfare of the school. These problems have been greatly increased this year, with many more students enrolled and with a resulting shortage of textbooks. But these problems don't get the faculty down; they just serve as a challenge. No matter which department a student is enrolled in, there are capable teachers to help him attain his goal. There are seven large departments and each one is divided Into smaller divisions. These seven departments are: English, Education. Home Economics, Social Studies, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics, and the newly established Conservation department. We are fortunate to have in those departments capable, intelligent, and understanding teachers to guide and direct us. 24
