Elementary Students Exposed To Diverse Personalities ln order to better prepare elementary students to face the world they will live in, attempts are being made to expose them to various teachers as well as teaching methods. This year for the first time at Western, elementary students are being offered courses in remedial reading, music, speech therapy, and P.E. Each elementary student is now taught by three different teachers, rather than one as in the past. f 1 K TOP RIGHT: Mrs. Garrett, who spent six weeks at Western helping students with speech difficulties, works with Lee Landers.
