MRS. C. D. KELLEY B.S. Georgia Southern College U.S. History, Government, Debate Team, Cheerleader Sponsor MISS DEL PYRON A.B. Women's College of Georgia World and American History Social Science Department Miss Pyron lectures to her American History class. Turner High’s social studies department of- fers personal benefits to each individual. Freshmen, entering the more advanced at- mosphere of high school are exposed to their first experience in taking notes from lectures in World Geography. Students of World His- tory connect the past with the present through the study of the progress of civilizations. An appreciation of their American heritage is in- stilled in Juniors as they share ideas in class discussions and research work in U.S. History. Economics furnishes an analytic study of fi- nancial conditions in the U.S. Upon the completion of American Government, Seniors are well-orientated in the functions of the government and are better prepared to meet their civic responsibilities. Through an understanding of ancient civili- zations and modern day situations, the social studies students of Turner County High are better qualified citizens of tomorrow. Seniors find Mrs. Kelley's Government tests challenging. Parents learn of their children’s progress in history from Miss Pyron. II

Mrs. Averett admires the student artwork done on the American In- dian. Reading Maketh a Full Man. All four classes at Turner County High find English and Literature a vital part of their curriculum. Freshmen, in composing their autobiogra- phies, find creative writing challenging. An introduction to Shakespeare through his play Julius Caesar, highlights literature in the Sophomore classes. Edgar Allan Poe's sus- pense and mystery intrigue Juniors as they explore his literary contributions. Choosing a topic for a term paper that would be interest- ing and informative is another first for Juniors. English for Seniors involves the detailed study of the English Language and of Chaucer and Shakespeare. Expressing oneself intelligently is necessary for success and Turner County High's English Department strives to fulfill this objective. Mrs. Woodard's English Class enjoys their study of Silas Marner. English Department Janice Wiley solicits the advice of Mrs. Averett about a term paper topic. MRS. H. H. AVERETT A.B.

The fundamentals of arithmetic and basic business principles are mastered by students of general and business math. The instructors of algebra courses convey to their pupils an understanding of formulas and equations. The intricacies of plane figures occupy the minds of students of geometry, while those participating in trigonometry classes are in- volved in the more specialized study of tri- angles. Essential for future development in this modem age, math is an important part of Turner High's Curriculum. Mrs. Poole's class listens to the explanation of a problem.
