Favorite Teaching Tactics Teachers have always tried to make their subject matter interesting for the students and keep their constant atten- tion. Some of the more favorite tactics used this year were quite efficient. Coach McCord constantly built his lectures up to a climactic topic. Cover- ing new material was Miss Bleasdalels solutionf Mrs. Aragon often resorted to speaking totally in Spanish and Mrs. Bullock found that varying her presenta- tion of the material was an important factor in capturing studentsy attention. Some teachers had the unique problem Sometimes it takes a little body language to get the point across, as demonstrated by Mr. Hill in his Anatomy class.

Committee meetings, workshops, faculty observa- tions, all prepared the classroom profes- sionals for the Southern Association Visitation Committeeis appearance in March. The school was a bustle of activi- ty March 17-23, and the positive energy spent in preparing for this week will benefit students and teachers alike for many years.

Awaiting the otntt of a Board meeting Mr. Love is shown what tonighfs topic ls go- Ing to be by Mr. Wilson. school office. What a Team! A new figure appeared in the halls this year. He was tall, young, smartly dressed, and energetic. In his hands he carried papers - plans for upper school management; in his head he carried ideas e hopes for launching Wilson Hall's already good academic program to one unexcelled in the state. Our new upper- school principal, Mr. Fred Moulton, joined a team with Headmaster Mr. Gene Love and the Board of Trustees to share ideas and hopes and set goals such as a five-year development plan in motion. Some improvements already made this year included a paved lighted parking lot, shiny new lockers, freshly painted hallways, and many other important renovations. The school also joined the Chamber of Commerce and set up even- ing forums bringing parents, teachers and administrators together to discuss pre- sent and future curriculums. An important part of the team's suc- cess came from a nine-member board that held innumerable meetings to define school policies and determine long-range goals. Dedicated policy makers, along with an effective administrative staff, allowed the schools operation to run ex- ceptionally smooth and to ensure that Wilson Hall offers the best possible en- vironment in which to teach as well as to learn. Looking over Mr. Price's shoulder, Mr. Moulton and Mr. King are exchanging ideas about tonight's agenda. Dating a Monday night board meeting, Mrs. Carpenter discusses a school policy with Dr. Young.
