as a central organization for the
exchange of ideas, mutual

One of the better known ac

THE WEST GEORGIAN
At Oak Mountain
Music Students Plan Fest
Christmas preparations
started early this year for the
music majors in Music 301, when
their teacher, Mary Lou Munn,
told the class they could, if they
chose, teach music to grades one
through six at Oak Mountain
Academy beginning the first
week in November.
Munn had been assisting the
school’s regular teacher, Carolyn
Gibson, in beginning a music
program when surgery in early
November made it impossible
for Gibson to teach again until the
first of the year. Macdonald
Willis, headmaster of the Oak
Mountain academy sought help
for the interim.
Soon the West Georgia
students, instead of studying only
the theory of teaching elemen
tary music, were involved in
actually planning and teaching
music lessons that will culminate
in a Christmas program the last
day of school. December 17.
New Bureau
To Provide
Speakers
Legislative reapportionment,
sports events, drug abuse, and
environmental protection are
just a few of the topics to be in
cluded in a Speaker’s Bureau
recently established by the
Public Affairs office at West
Georgia College.
In one of his first speeches on
campus, Dr. Ward Pafford ex
pressed a desire “to make the
resources of West Georgia
College faculty and student body
available to the community.”
The establishment of the Bureau
is a step toward that goal.
Through the Speaker’s Bureau,
civic clubs, PTA’s, church groups
and other organizations may
obtain a speaker, proficient on
the subject of their choice, from
the West Georgia campus.
During Howard Hancock’s first
visit to the school he found a set of
handbells gathering dust on a
shelf and immediately decided to
use them in an arrangement for
voices and hand-bells of “Carol of
the Bells.” Myra Park put her
typing skills to work making
stencils of the words of well
known Christmas songs and
carols. Nancy Randall made a
chart of a drum score for “The
Little Drummer Boy.” Sandra
Wilcox, Vichi Cochran, Howard
Hancock, and Frances Car
michael composed a special tune
and instrumental score for a
Christmas poem as part of the
project in Orff and Kodaly
methods.
All the class joined in planning
dances, orchestral scores,
rounds, choral readings,

costuming, and order of
presentation. Teaching has been
on the students’ own time,
arranged around their academic
schedules.
The students say that the whole
project has provided fun and
depth not available in the usual
methods courses. An elementary
school with small classes of lively
children is an ideal place for
future music teachers to study
and learn lessons not to be found
in books, they say, adding that
they find the children’s
responses to music more than
enough reward for the effort apd
time involved. Marcelle Wells,
voicing the general attitude of the
class, said, “This experience
makes me know that the teaching
music to children is exactly what
I want most to do.”
