Furnish Guides for the New Frontier All Freshmen are required to take a full year's course in Civics. They are thus introduced at the beginning of their academic life at T.H.S. to the working of the American government ofthe local, state, and national level. Problems ofDemocracy, a course required of all Seniors, expands this foundation, as well as supplying units in family relations, and studying in depth the social make-up of modern America. Economics, Geography, World History, Ala- bama History, and American History are taught. Only American History is required. ln spite of this fact, all of these classes have very large en- rollments. ln all of the Social Studies courses, the past, the physical features of the world, and current events in these fast-moving times are stressed. Because of this, the Social Studies Department is one of our most vital. Periodicals provide analyses ot world situations tor P.O.D. students, who must learn to understand the reasons lor the problems being laced by all nations. MRS. CHARLENE PATRICK World History MRS.

Machines Must Be Manned by Mathematicians MRS. LOIS VAUGHAN Problems ot Democracy As language is the foundation for human relations, so math is the base on which our modern science is laid. Students reach out tentative fingers toward new concepts and ideas, guided by the ablefaculty of the Math Department. Four new teacher replacements have brought a variety of methods to the teaching techniques employed by veteran faculty members. Improving scores of Seniors taking College Board math exams testify to the adequacy ot the courses offered and the instruction given in the Math Department. MR. EDWARD WOOD Civic! MRS.
