The course attempts to instill in the various students the habit and knowledge of correct speaking and writing, and an active appreciation of the better offerings in literature. It encourages the student to ‘‘think things out’’ for himself,and to communicate his ideas, both oral and writ- ten, more clearly and concisely with his fellow students. It seeks to interest stu- dents. It seeks to interest students in advancing beyond a medium of self-content and smallambition,and to progress as far as their abilities and talents will permit. The study of English and other languages strives to prepare its students for a fuller and tieher liter. MATHEMATICS At present the Freshman mathematics course devotes the first semester to general mathematics with emphasis upon that phase which will aid those students who are planning to go directly from high school into business. The second half is devoted to beginning algebra with the hope that the individual student may develop sufficient knowledge to determine if he wishes to continue with his study of mathe- matics. The sophomore work is devoted to intermediate algebra in preparation of col- lege work or for others who especially enjoy the study of mathematics. Plane Geometry is offered in the Junior year followed by Solid Geometry and Trigonimetry in the Senior year, Emphasis during these years is upon principals which are fundamental for the study of higher mathematics, SCIENCE We teach the basic scientific principles and the scientific method which will better fit the students to live in and understand the modern scientific age. We also try to stimulate the natural interest of the children and to help them realize that there is aneed for science and the important part science has played in shaping and changing our civilization. We tryto build an understanding how science is integrated with all fields of liv- ing and to help them to see science in their environment, in small things as well as in the hydrogen bomb. SOCIAL STUDIES Every attempt is made to fit the student for the role which he is soon to play in our democracy. To this end there is much teacher-pupil planning in our classes, A premium is placed upon initiative and students are encouraged to engage in some purposeful activity of their own choosing. Later, these individuals or small group projects such as drawings, news reports, biographical sketches, etc, are presented before the entire class. Each member of the class becomes actively engaged in the learning process as a contributor and a sharer. All feel the warm glow of achievement. Drawing from the past to meet present needs the social science students of Altavista HighSchool develop the resourcefulness which will insure for themselves and their posterity a brighter tomorrow. HOME ECONOMICS The home is the most important unit of our social life, therefore homemaking is essential in helping young girls to be the kind of mother and homemaker impera- tive to American life. It includes the selection and use of materials, the training and care of children,household management, recreational plans, religious worship, beautification of oneself and the home and the desire to be better trained to meet the many problems of the home. See, home economics is not just cooking and sew- ing! HEALTH ‘Its so nice to have a man around the house.’’ The boys exploratory course, if properly conducted, can help to mold a boy’s character into that of a man... one who will readily accept home responsibilities. This course primarily deals with social etiquette and helping the boys to adapt to a changing world. COMMERCIAL EDUCATION The aims and purposes of the commercial department are varied. To produce efficient and welltrained office workers is the primary goal toward which we work. An elementary course in general business is offered to help students decide which classes they will be interested in. In their last two years, pupils may take two years of typing, two of shorthand, and a one-year course in bookkeeping. A combination of these courses will enable the business student to obtain a good job with a future and will help the student to learn skills which will prove invaluable in any career they may choose. Music, properly taught and placed in true prospective in the whole program of education, plays a major role in building morale and developing desirable attitudes in the school. Music provides a setting in which every child can come into closer relationships with his fellows; it brings to children another and often essential path through which many people find ways of release and self-expression; it is a field for the discovery and development of outstanding individual talent; and, lastly, it brings to each child a means of present and lasting enrichment which will be a joy throughout life. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Industrial arts is the part of our education closest associated with our great industrial development of today. Although it is industrial in nature, it is still part of our general education program. We teach the student the arts of: woodworking, modern finishes, principals of electricity, ceramics, plastics, and photography. We use the same personnel system as industry,therefore teaching the students to work together as a team and better fit them for the ‘‘Wide Blue Yonder”’ of to- morrow. HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION Health and Physical Education is more than a course, It is a way of life--- taught, not only by instructors, but also by each individual student as he comes into contact with others in work and play. As this way of life is taught, so it is: learned by each individual student, and limited only as each student limits himself. Through Health and Physical Education the student learns to respect himself and to respect the rights of others. He learns to make personal sacrifices for the good of the group,to make quick decisions as the situations demand them, to accept his limitations in a given activity andto substitute other forms of activity which will afford him a challenge and pleasure. He also learns to establish sound mental atti- tudes, to develop self-control, to develop a sense of fair play, and above all else- how to win graciously and to accept defeat without bitterness. The student who learns his lesson well is developing a lasting sense of values that will assure him of his right full place in adult society. The primary aim in the study o- Latin, as in other languages, is to learn to read with understanding. Vocabulary and grammar are considered as aids to read- ing rathat than as an end in themselves. Interesting connected reading selections provide information about Roman civilization and its influence upon our life today. The pupils’ attention is constantly directed toward enlarging his English vocabulary by recognizing the close connection between English and Latin words. ° the key to PARTICIPATION. : : re : ELE OOEC TEV ERUVEVUTTUULS LESS ELSE EL 65606: +o Ss out, far a TRI-HI-Y President - - ---------------- - -Gloria Hutcherson Vice President - - --------------- - - Carolyn Yeatts Secretary = = = - = - = = —- - =) -)-(-)- — 7 Jean Robertson Treasurer -------+----+--+-------- -Carol Farmer sponsors = == =-=--=----=------=.--- - Mrs, Rita Hutcherson Mrs. Myra Ramsey ANNUAL STAFF Editor - --------------------- Janet Underwood Circulating Manager - - - - - ---------- Barbara Darden Business Manager - - --------------- Mittie Greene Sponsor - ---------+-------- Mr, Patrick Fitzgerald HOBBY CLUB President - --------+------+---- Shirley M, Dawson Vice President - - - - - ------------- Glenna Whitaker Secretary - -------------+---+---- Barbara Dooley di neasure rey -- eel = | Patsy Dudley Sponsor - -----+-+--------------Mr.M.

Automation, atomic energy, a rapidly increasing population--all point to a period of unprecedented growth in the industrial life of the nation. Like many others, the textile industry is just scratching the surface of its own latter-day revolution, which began a quarter century ago with the introduction of man-made fibers. Burlington Industries pioneeredinproductionof fabrics from man-made fibers, and is today the world’s leading textile concern. For young men and women thinking in terms of a career, the textile industry today offers opportunity ‘‘without bounds’’ in manufacturing, mer- chandising, research, development and designand many other related fields.
