Miss Linda Wil- liams, having previously taught in Biloxi, was appointed head of the English department, while Miss Sowell, a former member of Samford Uni- versity faculty, has proven a valuable asset to Wingfield. Mr. Collins is presently serving as chairman of the English department of jackson, and, serving as secretary, is Miss Johnson, a new- comer to the jackson Public School System. An accentuated part of the English program is a study of Shakespearean works by both sopho- mores and seniors. The importance of correct verb tense is accentuated by Miss Roberson.

Social Studies Ranging from the study of current events and government to ancient history, the social studies department at Wingfield offered students the opportunity to explore the foundations of our world and nation. A newcomer from4Mississippi State University, Mr. Kurts, in addition to teach- ing regular classes in American History, furthe-rs his interest in history by fostering the Wingfield Chapter of the junior Historical Society. Former- ly a member of the faculty at Forest Hill, Mr. Polk encourages the study of American History, while Miss Ramsey, department head, inspires students in the study of government and economic principles. The social studies department proved competent in attempting to prepare students for the all im- portant role of citizenship. Mr. Kurts at the Junior Historical Society's organizational meeting. 30
