. is A .-1: ,, x. 2-5. x N, You dissect the cravnshz l'll watch. says Nlarianne Rigdon to Bora Reilly. Readin', writinf and 'rithmeticu are much in evidence in tht- curriculum at Avonworth. A reading specialist worlcs with the classroom teacher, with the slow reader. and with the ex- ceptional reader. Writiiig is now part of the seventh grade course of study and is given emphasis throughout the junior high school. Science and math courses. advanced and gen- eral. are talcen bv all students. French. Span- ish, and Latin are offered to senior high people. Social studies courses are given to all students. while wlorld l-listory and Xvorld ljrohlems can be elected in the senior high years. An Ad- vanced English course. with emphasis on reade ing. thinking, and the expression of thought. can he elected by seniors. But since there is more to education than readin'. writing. and lrithmeticu. and a dash of l.atin grammar. such sulwjects as home eco- nomics. industrial arts. choral and instrumental music. arts and crafts, commercial subjects. and phvsical education courses are offered to students. To carry out this program .-Xvonworth lifls a facultv well prepared in subject matter. fa- miliar with the principles of child psychology. competent in directing extra-curricular activi- ties. interested in and devoted to the taslc of preparing young people to become creative masters of themselves and intelligent citizens of the world.
