Ik ■ TEACHING COMMUNICATION WITH PITPETS - Mn, Dorothy William** first period language art students have been working on a puppet project for presentation to other classes in the Milford junior high and in the elementary school. Mrs. Parker Phend visited the class on two occasions and gave them clever ideas on the construction of cardboard puppets that would represent characters in the story called "The Emperor’s New Clothes". Included in the version are two comic characters called Stringbean Pumpkin and Rub-a-Tub Nightingale. Two play casts have been trying out, and several have attempted to be manipulators of tile puppets. The pictures show the class. Mrs. Phend and Mrs. Williams knee deep in yarn, paint, bits of material and “communicatioe". Andy Woilman and Tim Weister. members of Mr. Cline’s eighth grade industrial arts class, constructed the puppet stage. It has been outfitted with lights and sheets contributed to the project.
