Students Are Teachers
At Palmer High School

minor, mostly gum-chewing and
talking offenses.
The seniors were unanimous
in their commendation of un
derclassmen who cooperated
with them in making Wednesday
a truly normal school day. “They
could have given us a bad time,
but they didn’t even try,” one
student teacher declared.
Problems were mostly routine,
although cooks and superinten
dent alike had a few anxious
moments over the soup question
before the lunch hour ended.
However there was a bowl of
soup for every student lunching
at the school, served with crack
ers and milk and pears for des
sert. “It was good soup, too,”
one luncher recalled; “thick with
vegetables and seasoned—m-m
mm.”
“Superintendent” Don Irwin
had a troublesome hour or two
Wednesday morning, when a tele
gram concerning teacher person
nel for next term had to be
dealt with immediately. Don
spent a goodly portion of the
morning, sleuthing for illusive
school board members.
“That, and the grading of the
student teachers were the only
hard things I had to do,” he
said. “Other than that this job
is all right—I sat here and twid
dled my fingers quite a while,
while all the rest of them were
working.”
He explained that all student
teachers were observed during
the day. They were rated on a
scale based on a regular teacher
efficiency report. At 3 o’clock,
alternate teachers and the cooks
took charge of classes while the
day’s instructors gathered in the
superintendent’s office in a
teacher’s meeting to hear the re
sults of that efficiency rating,
as explained to them by their
superintendent and principal.
Seniors were assigned their
jobs by a faculty committee,
after the class had voted to at
tempt a day of student rule in
the Palmer school. Teaching po
sitions were assigned as follows:
Music teachers, Alice Ray and
Sophie Vanderpool; pianist, Ger
ald Davis; biology, Walter Stev
ens; band director, Duane Hunt
ley; shop, Earl Onkka; domestic
science, chemistry and general
science, Nancy Smith; freshman
and sophomore world history,
Peggy Yohn.
Commercial subjects, E v o n
DeLand; algebra, Noel Woods;
geometry, Bud Billot; physical
education, Glenn Miller; librar

Beverly Larsh and Katherine
Pedersen; in charge of junior
activities, Lloyd Plumley; alter
nates, Don Church and Stanley
Hoffman.
Wednesday’s administra t i v e
staff, in addition to Don Irwin,
included Bob Graham, principal,
