MILNE SCHOOL ENTRY AT NATIONAL MEETING
Three students at The Milne School, State Wniversity of New
York at Albany, presented a multi-media production to the Instruc-
tional Media Committee at the National Council for the Social
Studies at its annual meeting in Boston. One of only three
student-prepared materials entered from New York State, "Don't
let It Bring You Down" was the result of the combined efforts of
Joseph Lapidus, production; Leon Aronowitz, photography; and
Gerald Murray, recording.
The theme of the Milne program was the interaction between
social and natural degradation in Albany during the current period
of rapid building up and tearing down. Also shown is the potential
for human and natural beauty and rebirth. The work was produced
for Gary Spielman'’s "Man and His Environment" course at the school.
At the fall meeting of the Niagara-Orleans County Board of
Cooperative Educational Services in Niagara Falls the production
was shown as an outstanding example of student creativity. It also
has been shown in social studies methods courses at SUNYA.
