Student Teachers to Conduct
Snohomish Summer Camp
Seventen Western Washington college students left the campus Mon­day,
June 20, to participate in a summer recreation program for children
at Camp Silverton in Snohomish county. The student teachers will act
as supervisors for the camp.
The WWCE department of education, of which Dr. Raymond F. Hawk
is chairman, has set up a complete teacher training unit at. the camp,
from June 20 to July 20, under the direction of John Porter, supervisor
of student training. Beginning Mon-«S»-
day the student teachers were to
attend a three days' leadership con­ference.
The camp was established by Mrs.
Dorothy J. Bennett, Snohomish
county superintendent of schools.
Her original idea was to provide
outdoor recreation for school child­ren.
The camp has been under way
several years. Every school .child in
the Snohomish schools has the op­portunity
to attend the camp for
two weeks sometime during the
summer.
Projects in forestry and tree
planting are two of the activities'
conducted at the camp. The U. S.
Forest service has granted the camp
the use of 45 acres in the Monte
Cristo district of the Mount Baker
national forest. The camp site is
located on the Stillaguamish river.
Some buildings have been erected
but most of the children are housed
in tents.
Mrs. Bennett's camp has become
a project of the Snohomish county
school system. In the several years
the camp has been in operation, the
campers have contributed valuable
service to the forest service by
planting tree seedlings in areas of
the Mount Baker forest.-•:'•';-• v^
Supervisor H. Phil Brandner and
Ranger Edward W. Anderson,of
the Monte Cristo district, cooperate
with the camp staff In the various
projects. The college students will
.conduct the camp the first half of
the summer period.
The following student teachers
are included in the camp group:
Shirley Swank, Ruby Rodgers, Jay
Lapp, Thornton M. Ford, Dell Van
Root, Gene A. Johnson. Lloyd Myr-vang,
Charles H. Matthews, Harold
S. Smith. Edgar King, Grover Led-better,
T. P. Hannan, Bob Johnsen,
Clayton Meiers, Earl N. Myer, Jess
Toth and Vernon Meissner.
last summer. The Registrar con­tributes
this increase to the expan­sion
of the graduate school program
and the institution of a secondary
education curriculum.
Thirty-two students are registered
for the beginning graduate course
and many others are continuing
graduate courses begun a year ago.
In addition, 337 veterans are enroll­ed,
an increase of 85 over that of
last summer.
Further information concerning
enrollment will be available next
week when all the figures are in.
Oregon Pianist
To Perform
George Hopkins, well-known pian­ist
from Eugene, Oregon, will come
to the college, June 28, 8 p. m., for
the regular assembly program; The
musician's planned program has not
yet been sent but should be avail­able
early in the week.
The pianist recently performed as
soloist with the Portland Symphony
orchestra. According to press re­ports,
the performance was well re­ceived
by the audience. Critics
praise Mr. Hopkins' playing in such
words as to make music lovers an­ticipate
the arrival of this artist.
Students Organize
Christian Group
College Christian Fellowship will
hold an organizational meeting at
12:30 today, Friday, in room 304, for
the purpose of setting up its sum­mer
program. The group is an inter­denominational
campus organization
that meets regularly during all four
quarters of the school year. It is
affiliated with Inter-Varsity Christ­ian
Fellowship.
The summer schedule of activi­ties
for the group will be announced
shortly, with all students invited* to
attend the meetings. ;
President Greets Students
It is very gratifying to greet a student body that is significant­ly
larger than that of last summer. We of the faculty have been
anxious to know the enrollment of this summer because of the in­troduction
of elementary teacher training at the University of
Washington and State College of Washington. Evidently, we have
not lost too heavily in elementary teacher enrollment, if at ally
and we have gained from our introduction of secondary teacher
training.. •- " - : • "•"'.''•'; '•.••-_. ^ . . . . \\-K
