Show Orem Geneva Times Thursday, May 31, 1962 Sports - Seeing With Dean i By Sportcaster Dean Bennett The men who receive the money for baseball brains the field managers . . . have had their first full look at the clubs in the Pacific Coast League Lea-gue gy now . . . and the concensus con-census is: Salt Lake City's talented tal-ented Bees, currently riding In iirst place, is the team to beat. The club skippers seem to like everything about the Bees. Comments are all In much the same vein . , . it's a very fine Trlple-A baseball club, But there was some hedging... all were equally unanimous that the Bees wouldn't run away and hide from the pack One manager even' pointed out, "That's what they said about Seattle first part of last . year." Seattle finished in third behind Ta-coma. This year's Seattle club is lso drawing the raves from the diamond chiefs. Their young pitching is catching cveryonn'e eye. They are also In accord in pinning a pen riant threat tab on the San Diego Padres, too. . . If they Jell. Beyond the three, no other club was rated too highly. How ver, one pilot did point a potential po-tential finger at the Hawaii club. "Not too far from being real tough," he said. Their play last week, when they won 2 of 3 from Salt Lake City proved his statement. Incidentally, the PCL has quite a few marks to be proud of over it's long history. But cne, in particular, more recent than most should be noted. There are fifty-two graduates of the 1961 loop currently on major le?ue rosters. Champion Champ-ion Tacoma and third place 6eattle have the best representation repre-sentation in the big time with eleven each.

' Except for BYU and or Mexico participation in the NCAA district baseball play, offs this weekend, and poten tial single entries in the NCAA spring sports finals, track, tennis and golf, the Skyline Conference has folded it's tents and is getting ready to steal away. And it's gone out in a blaze of glory, witness the finals of the track and field, and the number of new records established estab-lished in the past two years. Not many records are more than a few years old on the books that now become final and permanent. Next year, every mark will be a new record in the fresh books of the Western Athletic Conference. And the fledgling conference will undoubtedly set some that will be pretty hard to beat for a while. We are In accord with one group that can't understand why the leadership of the Conference should be located in a city not affiliated with the league. But Com missioner Brechler has elected to keep his office In Denver after the breakup of the Skyline conference. Howe, Thacker Walk Off with Athletic Fame Brent Howe. Orem High school ace, footballer, basketball basket-ball and baseball star, . and trackster did himself and school proud last Friday when he broke all existing records and won both the Dean Park and Sons football and basket ball awards at the annual Hon or Day. . This is the first time In the history of this presentation that one athlete has captured both awards the same year. The first award was pre sented by Larry Park, grandson grand-son of Dean Park, after Brent's selection by teammates, coach- j es and the principal. Shortly Short-ly following this, a second award was presented to him 'The Sportsmanship Award".

Alpine is Losing Experienced Teachers Teaching Experience in Alpine School District 1961 -1962 Number of Teachers Years of Experience 0 277 729 750 70 40 The Situation Can Be Changed The soying "experience is the best teocher" is os true applied to our school teachers os to ony other field. An experienced teacher, has learned to handle all types of personalities pnd con more fully develop or help a child to reach his potential.. I om always pleased when my children have o teocher who has been in the district long enough to establish a good reputation for teaching. : There ore certain teachers who con handle children and youth better in o few years experience than others but as in any other occupation, experience exper-ience os o rule, is valuable. If our children serve as guinea pigs to troirt teachers the effect will surely show over a period of years. 1 don't believe lengthy years of experience ore necessary to on intelligent, well-adjusted teocher, but first year teochers are surely serving an apprenticeship. . " (s) Joyce J. Johnson J. MURDOCK In my opinion, teacher experience is very important. Beginning teachers hove many problems arise. As they gain more and more experience they are able to continually make better solutions to their problems. It is a well krlown foct that we learn by doing and we surely improve in the things we continue to do. In ony activity business or profession, we improve os we practice end gain experience. I would feel safer riding in a plane piloted by one with experience just as I would feel more secure in a class taught by one with experience. . I feel that, with such a large number of experienced teachers leaving the district, we are faced with a serious problem. It is true that all teochers have begun with little or no experience, and I don't feel that beginning teachers cannot do a good job of teaching. Districts should include a number of these inexperienced teachers on their staffs. However, when so many teachers with five, ten or more years teaching experience ore leoving our district, I feel it is o serious situation. (s) J. Murdock ERNEST DEAN " Most important. Guidance service to students is best through experienced teachers. The more capable teachers undoubtedly receive job opportunities elsewhere. ; Where juvenile delinquency is outdistancing population growth 9 to 1, and where 25 of our students are not graduating from high school, better and more experienced teochers ore needed to curb these loses. To lose experienced teachers is a tragedy ond can't help but weaken our educational program. Either the legislature or the voters must provide sufficient suffic-ient money to support; on adequate program. 5 The legislature in 1961 depended upon the local voted leeway to do the job. It is regrettable Alpine's election met defeat. , (s) Ernest Dean MRS. ODA RASMUSSEN Experience in any field is valuable. The teaching field is no exception. I om concerned about our teachers leaving. Some of them we know personally ond we ore acquainted with their good qualities in their teaching ond community service. I feel it is too bod that the teochers hove to fight their cause olone. I feel that if good groups of solid citizens could get to-' to-' gether, who ore interested and informed about all the problems of teachers, taxpayers, ect., these things could be properly oired and solved. This would do more good than the rash opinions and emotional outbursts sometimes published pub-lished which do not represent the sentiment of the majority. I would be willing to support such a group meeting, and try to help solve our present problems. (s) Mrs. Oda Rasmussen Teocher experience is very important only when the teacher con transfer or present his knowledge to the students with effectiveness. I feel that we ore going to suffer greatly unless experienced teachers leaving the district can be replaced with more good teachers. The source of their resigning should be remedied if ond when possible. We want and need good teachers and should strive to keep them in our district. We want our children to be os well educated os the next oner . (s) GinS Zupan , MRS. HOMER TRINNAMAN Experience in teaching is like experience in any other field invaluable. We all learn from our experiences the practical side of things. Even though the fundamentals may be gained in school, the actual dealing with individuals is gained from being in constant and close contact with people, and especially children. I am very concerned obout Alpine District losing so many experienced teachers. We must do something to moke teaching in our district more attractive to able teachers. , (s) Mrs. Homer Trinnaman MRS. NINA LLEWELYN You can tell when a child has had on experienced teacher. There is more discipline. An experienced teacher has more confidence in himself than one who is inexperienced. A new teacher is well prepared but lacks experience to handle children. An experienced teacher knows whot to expect ond how to handle the situation. A teacher plays a big part in a child's life. If he doesn't get the right start in school he is lost the rest of the school years. An experienced teacher knows this. We should not let go of the experienced teachers. We should do all we con to keep them in the district higher wages, more schools. If experienced teachers leave the district they don't come back. We need them. The children in our district are just os important as children in the other districts. ,. (s) Mrs. Nina Llewelyn MRS. CHARLES CORNELL After twenty-one years of motherhood, I certainly feel I om o better mother than I was when I started ond I om sure that one learns and gains in teaching from experience os in onything else. Your effectiveness os a tedcher would undoubtedly be increased with experience. I feel that it is very unfortunate that Alpine School district is losing many of its experienced and best teachers. Our children will be the losers in the total picture. 1 is nothing short of disgraceful that we ore not able to hold our teachers. We will get the kind of education for our children that we ore willing to pay for. (s) Mrs. Charles Cornell HARVARD R. HINTON Experience in ony job or profession is an extremely valuable asset.. This is true as much ond , perhaps even more so in the teaching profession. I would prefer having experienced teachers teach my children ond feel they will become better educated as a result. I hove noted the tendency of experienced teachers to leave the state in on ever Increasing tide. It amounts to on economic waste for us to educate ond train and give experience to young teachers and then have them move on. The consequences ore for our children to suffer. I would like to see sincere ond concerted efforts made to reverse this trend. (s) Harvard R. Hinton |
