DISCUSSING STUDENT TEACHING are Alma Taylor, Business instructor, and Teresa Raynor, student teacher. Faculty Members Develope Scholarship Responsibility of instructing students in the dif- ferent academic divisions is the main concern of Wilburton City Schools faculty. A staff of 42 in- structors teach on the kindergarten through senior high levels, with an enrollment of over 800 stu- dents. Faculty responsibilities go beyond the routine of daily classes from eight to three. Instructors will be found after hours scoring papers, preparing reports and lesson plans, or counseling with students. Each faculty member joins a particular student group in advising some extra-curricular activity in addition to classroom study. Wilburton instructors participate in many pro- fessional organizations including Latimer County Education Association, Oklahoma Education Associ ation, National Education Association, and other professional groups of interest to individual depart- ments and major fields of study.

Higher Scholastic Standards SELDON TAYLOR, High school Principal SAM TAYLOR, Junior High Principal EDWIN CALDWELL, Elementary Principal Quality education is the goal of the Wilburton Public Schools. In order to prepare our youth to live as active and effective citizens, we should help them to achieve the four basic needs of human dignity: security, recognition, response, and new experience. Our high school and even the grade school curriculum has undergone rapid modifications to undergird for population explosion and other revolutionary changes. In today's complex society, youth face more problems than ever before--financial, technical, political, and economic. How they learn to meet them will make the difference! One of the obligations resting on the administration is to ascertain the kind and amount of training needed to round out and make more effective programs to meet the requirements of divergent interests, aptitudes, and abilities. Each student is counseled and encouraged to enroll in a program which will contribute to his development by in- creasing his knowledge, developing his skills, teaching him to solve the problems of living, and furthering his development of proper at- titudes. Between the covers of the 1966 Digger, the viewer will be able to see a panorama of the scholastic, athletic, religious, home life, and extra-curricular opportunities and achievements of WHS students.
