Box after box of books have to be unpacked, sorted, and placed on the shelves, and students seem more than willing to do their shareof work! On the left is Monty Smith, junior at Tri-Central. Montydoesn’t mind the climb-through door leading into the library, In fact, this type of door would be most convenient under certaincircumstances; but, in the name of progress, glass will be in-♦stalled soon.In weeks to come, asthe situationbecomesmore settled, Debbie Henderson and Bobbie Booth, your Teen reporters from Tri-Central High School, will be giving us news and views from students at their school.

Steve Baranowski, president appointed the members of the budget service, money making trip, membership, and auditing committees. These committees will work along with the officers in planning activities for the club.The FBLA members are, asof yet, undediced as to whether or hot they will have a float in. this year ’s homecoming parade.

(Staff Photo by EldonCage)By John Utter, Tipton Jr. High ISCS InstructorIn the! past, there have been many science programs developed for elementary and high school students! Unfortunately^ the middle grades, seven and eight, have been overlooked. Now, however, due to grants by the federal government, a science program has been developed for students at the Junior high level. The research for this project began in the early 1960’s and was finally completed for the fall semester of 1970* The seventh grade materials represent the heart of the first third of ;a coordinated science progtam for the middle grades. The name of this science program is the Intermediate Science Curriculum Study (ISCS). It was sponsored by Florida State University. The scientists and science educators who planned , this program developed it on the basis of the following main ideas:Homecoming Queen Attendants.1 .... L. The j fundamental assumption underlying Hie ISCS program is that science at the junior high school level should serve a general educational Junction ior allstudents, j This program aims athelping the student understand the nature! of science and the way that knowledge in science is accumulated. It arms him with skills and concepts that will help him interpret the natural phenomenasequence of the content to vary with the individual student background, interest, and ability. The project developers feel that the inability to provide for this is the greatest; deficiency in present-day education.4. The ISCS. approach is activity centered because the project developers* have become convinced that pupils in the middle grades profit more by handling objects. The project developersthe course, they learn about the conservation of energy and try to construct a moving particle mo*^ del for matter. While working on experiments, students have the opportunity to experiment just - as real scientists do. They measure, observe, and analyze results which help them understand some of the really big concepts \in science.In the eighth grade, students
