Well, if you haven't, you soon By g will. These people aren't Martians: are actually college students at the Brigham Young University. These additions to the classrooms are commonly known as student they participants." The college students are taking Education 377 at BYU; and as part of their lab experience, they must attend classes at BY High. This is a teacher-traininprogram in which they observe a class w'hich is in the same area g as their major. Participants observe and actually teach as a portion of their training. The students make a record of their observations, and then discuss them in their education class. All students at the university who get teaching certificates are required to take the class which observes at BY High. In the early history of the high school, the college students did their student teaching at BY High. However, as the number of students increased at BYU. this program was abandoned. The present system was set up many years ago by the university. 1,000 students Approximately from upper campus come to BY All over the West High every year to participate with the students and teachers in Mer-rill-Palm- er well-know- the clasrooms.

The conference is sponsored by the Communications Department of the BYU and aims at improving the quality of journalistic writings and yearbooks put out by high schools in the state. While students meet at the conference, the Utah Journalism Educational Association will also meet to discuss plans for the coming year.

Approximately 40 students fror BY High will attend. . Cheerleaders urge school spirit By Kim Hanson While most d newly-electe- cheer- leaders were separately working on cheers during the summer. BY High cheerleaders were scattered all over the West. Cheerleader Wilbur Newland was herding cattle in Wyoming. Becky Redd was at the LaSal Ranch in southern Utah, and Dave Comer joined the Marines. Meanwhile, Paula Goff, Julie Anderson, and Greg Clark worked on the cheers. Its been a lot of work: but Ive really had fun, fun that I couldn't have had any other It was really way. says Becky. difficult at first to overcome all the problems that we wfere confronted with. "When we first started working with each other, we didnt get along too well. But we all told each other just w'hat we thought, and when we brought everything out in the open we could work better. We originally made up all the cheers for three boys and three but girls. Becky continues, since one of our members was unable to return, we had to change all the cheers, and that took a lot of wrork. "It really gives me a good feel- ing to see the Pep Club cheering and to see the studentbody join in. It seems the players really respond to the cheers. It makes all the time and work that goes with cheerleader seem worthbeing-while, commented Becky. Paula declares, To be a cheerleader is really fun. even though its tons of work. I get to meet so many interesting people. "I think the Pep Club is. just a great! It really means a lot to all of us w'hen we have their support. cheer leader really has to know what he is doing. To look good when you are doing a cheer is a big part of the cheer, Paula continues. The main message of the cheerleaders is this: We need everyone to come out to the games and yell! People tend to judge a school and a team on the school spirit expressed at the games, says Head Cheerleader Greg We have heard many comments on the great school spirit at BY High. Other schools think that since. we are such a small school, we wouldn't have very much school spirit. But they are really surprised at the spirit we show them Let's keep it up! he concluded. A Dr. Moustakas and another of Miss Turleys instructors became enthused about her work and encouraged her to submit it for publication.

The Merrill-PalmInstitute is across the street from where just the slum area of the city, begins, so school was not held for the first two days of rioting. Although er On the way to school on the third day, wrhen school was reconvened, Miss Turley passed through streets full of glass. Many of the stores were wide open, and all along the street there were federal ,troops with poiseu bayonets. Principal Lowell Thomosn spent the summer teaching at a college in North Carolina, and on the way home took his vacation. His trip began at Palmyra. New York, where he visited Peter Whitmer's farm. Niagara Falls, Kirtland Temple, and John Johnson's home in Hyrum are places he also toured. Mr. Thomson said that he made a short visit to Expo 67. The pavilions that were sponsored by smaller countries were the ones that he liked best. looting of stores, and many of her friends were offered stolen merchandise at cheap prices. (Colored TVs, for example, were going at $25, while black and white ones could be obtained for $10.) They uere, however, afraid to go into the streets to obtain this hot" merchandise. Mrs. Louise Young, history and English teacher, visited the East also. Some of the points of interest she visited were in New York, Lincoln Memorial Washington, and many other historical places. Mrs. Young had a great time touring Expo '67 in Canada. Miss Turley found that there was a great deal of interest in the Church in Detroit She had the opportunity of arranging two Cottage Meetings, the first for 19 people and the second for 27. In the house where she stayed, seven of the 16 students had three Mr. Wallace Allred, assistant principal, visited the Eastern States just opposite the time Mr. Thomson did. They saw most of the' same sights, but Mr. Allred saw them at the beginning of summer and Mr. Thomson at the end. They were together in Canada'" for an educational conference. makes several new improvements Have noticed BY you anything new around BY High? Most students probably have noticed the red and pink geraniums around the beehive and the Elementary Building. They were planted by the BYU Grounds Department, to improve the appearance of the school. The administration has urged the students to keep the lawns and landscape looking nice by keeping the area clean. The intercom system, found in most of the rooms at BY High, was installed during the summer by the BYU Engineering and Communication Office. The console in the Central Office contains a record player, an AM-Fradio, and devices which make it possible for communication with one or all of the rooms. There are also plans to install a tape recorder. Another change is the new pipes which have been welded to the handrails along the staircases. The rails w'fere installed to add to the safety of the studentbody and to provide extra regidity for the other rails, according toMr. Wallace Allred, principal. Several of Miss Turley's Negro classmates were involved in the missionary discussions, and some were still taking them when she left. . InstiSince the Merrill-Palme- r tute does not give degrees. Miss Turleys work for the year will be transfered to Arizona State University, and will count towards a Ph.D. in counseling psychology.
