"And that's Canus Minor," says Marcia Wood, to her Daddy Star Wood and her classmates Ann Doughty and Polly Lancaster. Marcia and her fifth-grade classmates at the East Tennessee State College Training School gave a "solar trip into space" for over 30 of their parents as part of their class work on stars and planets for Miss Isabel Martin, Training School fifth grade teacher.

1961 - East Tennessee State College's Training School fifth graders on their annual camping trip to Buffalo Mountain Camp with their teacher, Ms. Isabel Martin. The fifth grade goes to the camp for a week each spring to get practical experience in studying the out-of-doors to compliment their classroom study. (Click on pictures to view larger images)

Medical attention: Shirley Holtzclaw is shown being checked over by Mrs. Howell Sherrod, registered nurse, who served as camp nurse. Also pictured is Diane Swingle.

Students look over a wild flower bank which is blooming abundantly as the result of soil restoration done by previous 5th grade campers. Pictured are Anna Leah Brown, Richie Frances, Miss Isabel Martin, Mike Lloyd, and Annie Brewer.

Programs around the Camp Fire in the evenings were a feature of activities. Pictured rehearsing for an Indian camp fire program are Larry Burdick, Marcia Wood, Myra Mathes, and Mark Beasley. Also pictured are two ETSC students who were members of the camp's counselors' staff. They are John Whited and Jennie Steffey.

Keeping their cabins clean was among the daily duties. Pictured at the steps are Laura Hodges, Marlene Collette, and Anne Doughty. Pictured on the porch are Cathy Cargill, Mary Mielke, and Diane Swingle. Also pictured is Betty Berkley, ETSC student who was one of the camp's counselors.

Three students examine a jack-in-the-pulpit which was discovered in the course of a wildflower study tour at the camp. Pictured are Mike Lingerfelt, Carol Clack, and Ronnie Nelson.

Field trips for on-the-spot knowledge of natural life studied in their science courses were an important part of the program of the annual camping trip.

(3) These students are from the 1964 graduating class so if the photo was taken in 10^th grade it would have been taken during the 1961-1962 school year

Annual White Christmas was held at East Tennessee State College's Training School Saturday, December 17, 1960. Training School pupils returned to the school Saturday morning, before beginning their holidays, to make their contributions to the collection of gifts for needy persons collected at the school in the White Christmas program. Pictured against a background of part of this year's collection are Training School students (L-R) from the 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st grades, Mary Lou Manning, Jane Blair Stevenson, David Francis, and Terry Turner. Also pictured are Training School Director John H. Arrants and Captain H.H. Lawson of the local Salvation Army.

Instrumental Ensemble looks a little different!

Responses to date:

(1) Band Picture: circa 1958 - 1962

First row, left, closest to stage, holding flute is Schery Lodter (Collins), class of 1962, who now lives in Abingdon, VA. Her Dad taught (French I think) at ETSC (as it was then).

The director is, I think, Mr. Lindley. If Lindley, he was also the ETSC band director, and maybe the head of music dept. Lindley died somewhere between 1958 and 1962.

First trombone is, I believe, Alfred Gervin; 2^nd trombone Mac Sams

Two behind the director, square in front of the sousaphone, is Judy Myron(Horton), class of 1960.

First sax is, I believe, Marshall Lee Smith, class of 1960.

2^nd clarinet in from outside is, I believe, Parker Davis, circa 1962, whos father was a Dean at ETSC

(I played baritone horn in the band from 1955 or 1956 to 1960, and was Drum Major some years, but Im not in this picture.)

(1) History of challenging our Bucs.....optimizing brain performance through physical activity. Exercises involving learning a series of complex movements while coordinating ones balance have been proven to generate a greater number of connections between neurons. These connections make it easier for students of all ages to learn..... Of course, physical activity, such as baton twirling, can also be a lot of fun!!

(1) This is the old shop which is now my Art Room!! The little boy is literally sitting in my closet, which is no bigger than 6 X 10 in area. He looks as if he is in detention.
