Title: Swinging young pastor.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30500 SWINGING YOUNG PASTOR ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- While clergymen never have confined their ministries exclusively to sanctuary and pulpit, recent years have seen an increasing number of young pastors putting a new emphasis on contacts and activities far beyond the traditional religious scene -- into jazz joints and espresso coffee houses. Such a man is the Rev. William Patton, former assistant pastor at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church at St. Petersburg, Fla., where he combined his parish-pulpit duties with an active ministry in the gymnasium. An award-winning gymnast himself (many first-place honors in Florida meets and high placement at the National Gymnastic Clinic), Mr. Patton coached young acrobats of the local Police Athletic League. This, he says, is "one of the most important things I do -- counseling with the younger people." He maintains that the athletic avocation opens the door to contacts and conversations with young people which would be impossible in clerical collar alone. Now a chaplain at Duke University, Durham, N.C, the pastor continues his swinging trapeze ministry. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (GT-SP-1D-64-NBM)

Title: Inside America's oldest wooden school house.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: INSIDE AMERICA’S OLDEST WOODEN SCHOOL HOUSE #1272 ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Using dog-eared books a hundred years old, these children from a nearby school simulate conditions of past years in the oldest wooden school house in America, built here in 1565. Miss Rosemary Pike, their regular third-grade teacher, is the instructor, but in days past the children would have been instructed by a man. The hat of a former teacher still hangs on a peg behind Miss Pike. And that is an original dunce cap Bobbie Walker is sporting.
