It looks like secrets were being whispered in this elementary school's library on January 18, 1968. Anita Babbs, age 10, shares some good news with her tutor, Ann Morgan, a UPS sophomore--she had just received her first "A." Sharon Preson, also 10, and her tutor, UPS freshman Linda Taplin, listened in. Both children were taking part in the TACT (Tacoma Area Child Tutoring) program, a project of the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc., whose aim was "One tutor to one tutee." College students and qualified upper-level high school students tutored children on an individual basis. More tutors were needed to cope with the program for school drop-outs .
