FROM THE WOLCOTT PRINCIPAL'S DESK Starting .. the second semester of tine year Wolcott School embarks on a journey with new educational ideas. The wheels were set in motion toward a new program of cooperative agriculture education with a meeting held including staff members and local business mien. This program will give &tn dents a chance to work and study in agriculture equipment repair and sales. There are 6 - 10 schools in Indiana who have been chosen to

participate in this new pnogram. Team teaching, an involvement of two or more teachers in. instruction of a course will be used in a' social studiets class (beginning in the spring semester. This type of teaching ishould be stimulating to both students and teachers. . Kindergarten will at last be a nealtiy in the Tri-Coun-ty School System. It is almost certain that this addition to the Corporation's educational program will be

a great boost to next fall's

new 1st grade students.

The Woloott community can look with pride to the Business Department and its

venture toward adult educa

tion. This, program will be

gin with the next, semester.

eed interest an this training.
