It was the first and only in-service in Wyoming Valley designed by the teachers to meet their own needs for state certification graduate credit and pay increment. The SWF workshop was sponsored by the Dallas Curri- culum In-Service Council. James O. Brokenshire is chairman. The Dallas In- Service Council is made up of representatives from the staff, student body, school board and community. * The ultimate goal of the workshop was to help teachers learn alternate ways for classroom interaction that are challenging, involving and relevant. Each teacher took part to learn Dr. William Glasser’s techniques. The ‘course requires 30 hours. ap- plication within the classroom. Teachers of grades kinder- garten through 12 participated. Before the workshop was conducted, a questionnaire was sent to each staff member within the Dallas School District. Three fourths of the staff replied in favor of attend- ing the SWF workshop. The facilities available could ac- commodate only 60 people at a time and all applications were not accepted. The enthusiasm generated among those who did partici- pate led to the Schools Without Failure Coordinating Commi- ttee. consisting of staff mem- bers within the school district. workshop. Originator of the program, Dr. Glasser feels that education today is failure-oriented to a “large degree. He has specific ideas as to how to reach those who fail and who usually resent school, and those who continue to have poor self-image and often become serious problems for the school and society. r. Glasser offers educators methods of bringing relevance into the classroom. Among the most important innovations he proposed was the use of the class meeting, led by the teacher, as a counseling group which spends time daily engaged n open-ended “discussions with no “right” answers, affording a greater opportunity for decision making by students and creating a stimulating environment. Dr. Glasser’s changes do not replace subject matter but do provide an opportunity for relevant use of subject matter as the vehicle for learning. Dr. Glasser attended Case Institute of Technology and Westerns Reserve University School of Medicine.

L. Martin, early in the first period, received a punt on the Knights’ 45 yard line and went on for the first touchdown for Lake-Lehman. The kick for extra point was no good. With only a minute and a half of the first quarter gone by, the Knights were ahead 6-0. The pattern of the game became clear in the first quarter when the first of the Titans’ costly turnovers was a fumble by J. Dougherty, recovered by the Knights’ A. Brown on West Side’s 26 yard line. Rushes by M. Kalish and Grey moved the ball to the Titan three yard line and on the next play Grey went across for the Knights’ second score of the game. Quarterback G. Naugle called the play to Grey and Grey went across for the two points to run the score to 14-0. The Titans then had the ball deep in their own territory and attempted to take the game in the air. Their quarterback G. Thorne had the ball intercepted by C. Brin, Knights’ tackle, who took the ball to the Titan two- yard line. Once again Grey took over and on the next play took the ball into the scoring section for the Knights’ third touchdown. Yanchik’s kick for the extra point was good and the score was 21-0. defense ball in the second half and it was not until late in the game that Tech had an opport- unity to score. Thorne attempt- ed to pass but again it was inter- cepted, this time by Martin on Lake-Lehman’s 10 yard line. With his teammates controll- ing the ball, Grey continued his excellent playing and the final quarter ended with the score board reading 21-0 in favor of the Knights. Grey excelled for the Knights, piling up most of their yardage. He carried the ball 20 times for approximately 60 yards. Dougherty did a fine job for the losing Titans, collecting 120 Page 13 yards in 25 plays. A. Brown, M. Stevens, R. Sorber, Brin and Martin turned ‘in a fine performance on defense for Lake-Lehman, while B. Farber was great on defense for the West Side team.
