They attended the work­ shop from 9 to 11 each morn­ ing and a teacher presented a twenty-minute lesson to them which was video-recorded. Af­ ter presenting the lesson, each teacher was critiqued by the other teachers as to his goals, plans and teaching style. The classroom climate and activ­ ities were also assessed, us­ ing the Flanders technique of inter-action analysis. In this technique, the degree of teacher talk, pupil talk,;,i^d other tea­ cher and studertfbehaviors were assessed on thta basis of eval- uators recording^what_wa-s hap­ pening in the classroom sit­ uation every three seconds.In this way a teacher became bet­ ter aware of different class­ room climates and different teaching styles. He also could see himself teach by viewing the video-recorded playbacks. Miss Betty Butler of the State Department of Education and the Plaindealer photographer visited the workshop on Thurs­ day, July 18. Teachers ti^ed a variety of techniques in their instruction to the pupils. The rest of the day was spent dis­ cussing the under-achieving talented pupil, the state plan for talented piqjils, and brain- storming. Other consultants have come from Evergreen Park, Decatur, Crystal Lake, and Chicago. Each participant was ajfco expected to complete readings related to teaching talented youngsters, and daily lively discussions have been en­ joyed by the twelve teachers and project directors. The partic­ ipants have been most enthu­ siastic and complimentary of the workshop and new self- assessment techniques used. Johnsburg school has had a program for talented pu­ pils during the past two years at the junior high school lev­ el in math, science and social studies. Pupils identified as talented Nx>m St. John's school and the publk^school were a part of this programed were group­ ed together for half a day>S ing the past year at Johnsburg school, a study group of elemen­ tary and junior high schooltea­ chers recommended expanding the program for talented pupils to the elementary school level. Students identified will be grouped together for a half day in an ungraded situation (one class for grades 2 and 3, one class for grades 4 and 5), be­ ginning this fall. Mrs. AnnLatz and Mrs. Macv Rose of the Johnsburg staff® will instruct these pupils. With the added experience of the summer workshop and special supplies and materials being purchased, it is believed that the needs of talented pupils will be better met next year.

STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK Strange to see so many peo­ ple wandering around with bloodshot eyes this past week. Between ogling the beauties in the Marine Day parade and watching the coverage of the moon landing the old eyeballs have really had a workout. I was wondering while watching the astro-nasties on the moon, just what my 87 year old grand­ ma must think of all the change's , that have occurred in the world during her lifetime. The mind boggles at the enormity of the thought. Horse and buggy or just plain feet were the only modes of local transportation avail­ able in her youth. Maybe that's why the youth of her day didn't go in much for demonstrations and riots. It took away enough of the excess energy just to get where you wanted to go. But anyway hey I bey! for our men on the moon who proved beyond all doubt that it isn't made of green cheese. Get well wishes to Jimmy Dawson who is recovering from second degree burns on his neck and ears. He is at home and can't have any visitors be­ cause of the danger of infection especially now that the blisters have broken. He will be spend­ ing at least another week in ^ bed and could probably use some _ ^ cheerful cards from his friends. His address is 5108 W. Home avenue. Cheri Koehl and Susan Waut- elet are spending the week in Chicago visiting Susan's aunt. Jackie Creutz and Tom and Chris are visiting with Penny and Doi^Veenhuis and Danny and Randy at their homeinFort Atkinson, Wis. Hope Don sur­ vives the week. HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS Holly Koehl was the guest of honor at a birthday party giv­ en for her last week by Cathy Humann. Among the guests who attended were Jan Woodward, Yvonne Newman, Mary Ellen Harner, Tim Corson, Ed Lin- nane, Dave Dawson and Jeff Hoskins. Fifteen candles sure lit up the scene. The clean streams commit­ tee gave a report on the con­ dition of the water at the meet­ ing of the McCullom Lake Con­ servation Club last Thursday. The club works very hard to keep our lake in good condi­ tion and needs your support for their August 9 corn roast. Don't forget to buy some tickets from one of the officers. You can't lose. ' There must be some vacation news floating about. Don't be shy give me a call. Tracy Wil- kens caught a big bass in the lake last week. She was fix­ ing a tangle in the line and the fish just couldn't resist biting her hook. Seems like the girls are doing a terrific job of bass fishing lately. Any boys want to challenge? SALES INCREASE Modine continues to set sales and earnings records, E.G. Rutherford, president, told sfcme sixty stockholders at­ tending the annual meeting Thursday."' Following on the heels of the company's sixth straight year of setting new- -j sales and earnings highs, Mo­ dine's first quarter of the cur­ rent fiscal year has reached a new sales-earnings record for any first quarter in the com­ pany's 53-year history, Rutheit- ford said. Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1969, reached $18,887,000, up 10 per cent from last year's record first quarter high of $1,016,000, up 5 per cent over last year. If s easy to eat your cake, and still have it. That's why so many people can't get into last year's clothes. BAB8BTT MEMOBIAL8 Granite fc Bronze. Evening St weekend appointments only. HOMES E.
