With these new ways of looking at things, students can develop, grow,and change... Teaching for me is a broad expression of these beliefs.” Experimental education is Boy- er’s.hallmark, He began by teaching to first graders, which has also of the ACC English depart- ment. The Developmental program was a prelude to the Liberal Arts Block, or LAB, which Boyer co- ordinated with Terry Hall of the English and Humanities department, and Joe Faber, who teaches psy- chology. z " Currently, Boyer is designing A natural match for today’s leisure lifestyles.

Boyer earned his B.A. at North- ern Michigan University with con- centrations in French, Psychology, and English,and continued at N.M. U. to study English. A year later he began teaching English and French at the high school level.In 1967, he earned two M.A.’s from N.M.U. one in English and one in Educational Administration. That same year Boyer came to teach at Alpena Community College in the English department. In April, 1979 Boyer completed his formal educa- tion when he received his Doctor of Arts in English Language and Literature from the University of Michigan. Boyer added one more comment concerning his philosophy of teach- ing: “I teach for the immediate suc- ude w am ii chie ¥ help alter the of the students.””-In all his years of teach- ing, Boyer has. certainly had both, forms of success. 3 Privately, Boyer enjoys daily walks in the woods, gardening, and reading. He also finds time for danc- ing and listening to serious music of all kinds. : : Happenings at the Museum “Jintage Automobiles,’’a col- lection of eleven original oi! paint- ings by John Stephens Coppin, is now on exhibit at the Jesse Besser Museum and can be seen through h April 20th. Mr. Coppin, born in Ontario, Canada in 1904, painted the cover of Motor News for 40 years and gained a widespread reputation as a portraitist of prominent Michigan people. He now lives in Florida. “Some say |’m in retirement,” says Coppin. “I'd rather call ita period of selective living,which means | do as | like, when | like--””. Mr. Coppin was intrigued and en- thralled by the early automobile, and these eleven paintings, done during the 1950’s and 60’s capture the spirit, the enthusiasm and the excitement aroused by fine work- manship, performance, and most of all, the thrill of ownership. John Coppin’s careful research is seen not only in the detail of the autos themselves, but also in the costume, the activity, and the back- ground scenes. They are truly a labor of love. These paintings are on loan to the Jesse Besser Museum from the Alfred P.

But like other winners of this spontan- eous event, traditionally held on -“the coldest day of the year,” their names will not go down in history.
