Gvents ‘(jests ! On this fast shrinking and changing world we, like Alice in Wonderland, have to run as fast as we can to stay where we are, Mrs. Mary McLaughlin, head of the Social Studies Department, said. With this in mind we try to motivate stu¬ dents to read, to think, to search for information; to be intellectually cu¬ rious; and to be aware of the lessons of yesterday as related to the prob¬ lems of today. To carry out this purpose, world history, Virginia and U. S. History and Government, geography, and economics were the social studies classes taught. But to further carry out the department’s purpos e, a current events program was added to social studies classwork. Stu¬ dents were required to take a week¬ ly current events test and to hand in a weekly current news summary. The students doing the best jobs were heard on a radio show, where they competed with county civic clubs. The student participating on the show the most times received a certificate of excellence at the end of the school term. Miss Jennie Wagner wasthe teacher in charge of this program. Winfred Childress and Faye Conner examine the Science Re¬ search Associates Reading Laboratory used in English and social studies classes this year. All Students Were Gnvolled On Gnglisd Was there something new in the English classes of Halifax County High in 1961? Not really; students were still involved in the age-old process of learning how to use skillfully and effectively their greatest heritage--th e i r language. The emphasis and execution of this process was different this year, though. Reading, for instance, received much greater stress. The Science Research Association Reading Lab was used in selected English classes to improve vo¬ cabulary, comprehension, and rate. Three varieties of English made up the curriculum: English, speech arts, and a combined English journalism course, English 11J. In this class students studied grammar, composition, literature, and journalism. Students in regular English classes were grouped as to ability according to their standarized test scores and their previous year’s grades. 9
