school to start in 42 years
Mrs Vivian Sheldon is
retiring from teaching and
counseling 'after 42 years in
education, 26 of those in
Inglcside Mrs Sheldon began
her teaching career at the
lender age of 18, telling her
students some of them older
than herself, that she was
between 7.r> and 30.
Her first teaching job was in
Big Sandy in East Texas and
then in Highland Hark in Dallas
Irom which she retired when
she and tier husband, Bernard,
moved to Corpus Cliristi where
tie set up a photo studio
Mrs Sheldon admits that
when she left Highland Harks
she felt she would not teach
again because she knew there
could not be another place like
it
In her husband’s studio Mrs
Sheldon said she began to notice
the students from Ingleside She
recalls that O.T Blaschke
would tiring in the graduating
seniors to have their pictures
taken and she remembers that
they were always the best
behaved group she encoun
tered Stic and her husband
were so impressed with the
students that they decided to try
and get out of their apartment
in Corpus Cliristi into a home in
Ingleside Housing in the spring
ot 1948, right after the war, was
scarce she notes.
Her introduction into teaching
in Ingleside came as a spur of
the moment decision She says
that she had senior picture
proofs to show Blaschke and
that when she arrived at his
office he was “tearing his hair”
because it was the end of the
school year and his English
teacher had just left and left
without grading papers She
volunteered to grade the papers
and stayed to teach 26 years
Mrs Sheldon admits she was

a little skeptical about teaching
in Ingleside because it was so
little and she felt dial perhaps
the curriculum would not be
good
Skepticism was swept aside
says Mrs Sheldon, when sin-
found the teaching was all very
modern and dial the admints
tration and community was so
education minded
Expansion of the curriculum
at Ingleside schools is one of the
biggest changes that lias been
made in Ingleside schools since
she first began teaching there,
says Mrs. Sheldon.
The changes, many of them,
tiave come through a followup
program the school uses in
which it surveys each year
students who graduated lour
years before.
The survey asks tfie students
to tell which courses helped
them the most and what courses
they feel were needed From
these surveys have come some
of the changes in the curricu
lum, until, says Mrs Sheldon,
Ingleside lias a "fantastic
science program, a home
economic program that would
do credit to a college, and is last
developing other programs
within the economic limitations
of a school this size ”
Community support in back-
ing what is needed financially to
have a good school system, says
Mrs Sheldon, has been a very
big part of the reason for I lie-
community’s successful school
programs. "We have a very
stable population that is
education minded ”
While many schools, os
pecially in the bigger cities are
plagued with disciplinary pro
blems, Mrs. Sheldon says.
Ingleside is very fortunate that
both the parents and students
want the kind of atmosphere
where students can learn, and
tins means maintaining disci
pline
“Youngsters have grown up
with everything they have
every wanted and don’t know
how to Cope with 'no' This
carries over from the home into
the school,” explains Mrs
Sheldon, who is also quick to
point out that the great ma jority
of students are willing to accept
discipline because they want
the "well-ordered disciplined
atmosphere” in which they can
learn
Herhaps one of (W arMi

says Mrs Sheldon, is in

absent, and those arc death m

Mrs Sheldon, and I deplore
the cited of permissiveness.”
by parents who even though the
child is not sick will make an

There are two reasons why

Mrs Sheldon, and in just one

You help conserve natural gas when
yon use natural gas appliances.
Regardless of the form
of energy you use for your
home appliances, you prob-
ably are using natural gas.
With gas appliances
. you consume gas directly.
With comparable electric
appliances you use natural
gas indirectly.
f lee tricity does not exist
in a natural state. Some other
form of energy is required to
produce it In this area, the other
form of energy required to gener
ate electricity is almost entirely
natural gas.
So. whether you use gas ap-
pliances or electric appliances,
you are consuming natural gas. But,
hy using gas appliances—and this
is important- -you use naturatgas
much more efficiently.
1 he efficiency of gas is drarnati
rally demonstrated by comparing
the appliances most often found
in homes today
(>as will heat 2 4 gallons of
water with the same amount of
primary energy it takes to heat one
gallon electrically.
Gas will dry
^ ■ d 1/d loads of
clothes with the same
amount of primary
energy it takes to dry
one load electrically.
Gas will cook
almost two meals with
the same amount of
primary energy it takes to
cook one meal electrically.
Gas will heat 2 1 /4
homes with the same amount of
primary energy it takes to heat one
home electrically.
The point of all this is, let natural
gas do the jobs it does best: heating
your home; drying your clothes; cooking
your meals; heating your water.
By doing these tilings, you'll help
conserve our country's natural gas And
you'll be making the wisest, most efficient
use of the energy consumed.
Let’s eliminate the fart
shortage.
