ACADEMICS The Academic achievement of its students has been a source of pride to James River this year. The faculty encouraged the student to do the best he could. The student found that perseverance, willingness to learn, and plain hard work are necessary for accomplishing anything worthwhile. The curriculum at James River was designed to help the student prepare for adult life. Academic courses were offered to the college-bound student, while business students took courses that would be of use to them in jobs after high school. James River ' s teachers set examples for their pupils to follow. Besides teaching efficiently, they gave of their time after school sponsoring clubs and other extra- curricular activities. The teachers were glad to talk with the student about his schoolwork and answer questions when he was in need of help. 19
