Inning tip' prrsi'iit academic year,
(iullainlrt College seniors planning
to become teachers of the deaf have
been engaged in a new ami more intensivi- oh crvatior; and practice teaching
program in the various classes of The
Kendall School. This program involves
a miiiNHim of ten hours a week of
actual classroom work which is ma<le
up of observation sessions and .practice teaching sessions. During the
periods. the studetitobservation
teache'-s study the teacher anil the
ptil)ils and make careful notes on the
techniques which are used. During
the practice teaching session, the
student-teachers take over the classroom work and the regular teacher
observes them carefully. Following
the sessions a critique is conducted in
in a private conference between the
teacher and the student-teacher. The
teacher makes frank criticisms,
pointing out the student-teacher's
strengths and weaknesses and notes
if any improvement is made in subsequent sessions. Lesson plans are
carefully checked.
It is felt that under this new program the deaf teacher of the deaf will
obtain greater professional "knowhow" and will emerge as a much more

Physical Education
.. | rograiti of intramural activities,
with emphasis on scholarship and
citixeii-iii|i. is the dominant phase of
the pro.uram of physical education in
The Kemlall School. A wide variety of
individual, dual, and team sports numbering fifty-s- ven ;uc offered, wit':, an
opportunity for f\vry pupil to participate, either separately or coeducationally. These activities make for a
pi'ogram in which real .personality
and Micial tiaits may be developed,
rather than one of conditioning exercises of one type or another which,
according to a popular theory, makes
for .-tagnant progress.
Annual individual and team award
winners are determined by a point
-ystein in which scholarship and citizenship have an important place behind the individual's performance. No
pupil can .jiossibly win recognition in
the program if he does not maintain
a healthy academic standing as well
One boy last year finished second in
the point system on performance
points alone, yet he was not eligible
for the trophy award because of his
academic weakness. The policy is to
award trophies to those with the
eight highest individual points, with
an understanding that they are qualified for the award' both academically
and int ramurally.

Have a Christmas party for the rotating classes. We had some delicious
refreshments prepared by Mrs. LaRue, Miss Shahan, and Miss Babcock. Everyone enjoyed the party.
A lady from the Philippines gave

We ate it for dessert just before we

MY LIKE
1 was born in Yolombo, Colombia,
South America ir May, 1!>11. I have
no sisters or brothers.
When I was six years old, 1 went to
the School for the Deaf in Medellin,
Colombia. It is called Kscucla Ciegos
Y Sordos- I attended this school for
nine years.
1 came to Kendall School last October. I was homesick when I came
here. I am learning to read and write
in English. I like Kendall School now.
On weekends I cannot go home. I
stay here with the other boys from
South America. We go to the movies;
watch television sometime; study,
and go to church on Sundays.
Maybe 1 shall go to college if I can
learn my lessons well enough.

I,IKK HISTORY BETTER
THAN AUIEBKA
I like history better than algebra
because history is much more interesting to me. History tells me of
many nation, of their land, culture,
and civilization. I am very much
interested in ancient history as well
as modern history. Whvn 1 read about
(Irceee, China or India, 1 can almost
see the laud, the peoples, their customs
and traditions. History is alive and
colorful while algebra is dry and all I
can se* 1 is figures that can tell no
tones.
