ON DEAN'S LIST AT ERSKINE Two students from Newberry earned places on the spring term Dean’s List at Erskine College. Those selected on the basis of outstanding academic records included Mary Parr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Parr, Rt. 3 and Martha Jean Hamp shire, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Smith, Jr., 1235 Cal houn Street. Both women are graduates of Newberry High. Miss Parr is a rising junior majoring in English, while Mrs. Hampshire received her A.

Staff, students to continue literacy effort Newberry College students and staff members hope to reach every South Carolina county next fall in their in creased efforts to help curb il literacy among the 230,000 adult illiterates in the state. “The project of teaching ad ults to learn to read is one of the most exciting things our students are doing,” Dr. A.G.D. Wiles, president of the College, said in commenting on the pro gram. The Newberry College cam paign to help erase adult illiter acy uses the nation-wide Lau- bach “each one-teach one” me thod. Under the Laubach sys tem, a person takes a nine-hour tutor training session; after the training period, he is then able to work individually with ad ults illiterates teaching them to read. Newberry College is the offi cial tutor training agency of the South Carolina Literacy Asso ciation (SCLA) headed by Ber Bagwell of Greenville. The Rev. Harry Weber, chap lain at Newberry College, spear headed the College’s participa tion in the teaching crusade last fall by setting up sessions to train tutors. “Our first objective in Sep tember,” Chaplain Weber said, “is to continue the tutor train ing sessions so that we can send qualified persons to every corner of the state to organize workshops to train the volunteer tutors. Help in the project comes from the South Carolina Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jay- cees), the SCLA, and from grants from the Lutheran Church in America. The agen cies supplied funds, leadership, the necessary teaching mater ials, and the staff to conduct the training workshops at New berry College. “The adult illiteracy problem is acute,” W. D. Workman III, of Greenville said when he launched the program at New berry. In urging all South Car olinians to assist in the pro gram, Workman stated, “It is inconceivable that anyone would seek to deny any individual the education he needs to get by in this world, regardless of race, religion or any other consider ations. This is a program of good will in this state to work to improve the lot of their neighbors—and across the street not in the next county or the next country.” Workman is state chairman of the Jaycee Adult Education pro motion Project and secretary- treasurer of the SCLA. Twenty-one Newberry College students and faculty accepted Workman’s challenge and took the nine-hour tutor training ses sion last fall. Following their training period, they went to eight South Carolina communi ties (Beaufort, Central, Cher- aw, Clemson, Dillon, Laurens, Myrtle Beach and Pendleton) and trained 150 tutors. Many of the Newberrians weren’t satisfied in just train ing tutors; they put their knowl edge to work and taught some of the 3,175 adult illiterates in Newberry County how to read. Dr. Frank Laubach, founder of the Laubach “each one-teach one” teaching system, died last week. GETS DEGREE Michael Hite, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer M. Hite, 1510 Glenn Street, received the bach elor of science degree at Berry College (Mount Berry, Ga.) fin al exercises June 7.

While attending Berry he was a member of the college band and served as treasurer of the Georgian Literary Soc iety.

American Cheese What Is It? “American Cheese” has English ancestry. It’s really Cheddar, first made in this country soon after 1620 by the Pilgrims. The English called it Yankee Cheddar to differentiate between it and their homemade variety. American cheese has also been called, among other names, yellow cheese, store cheese, Herkimer County Cheese and — most American of all—apple pie cheese. (In cidentally, the town of Ched dar in England no longer pro duces cheese.)
