This year the general science has been split so that the student gets a half year of biology and a half year of science. This increases the stu- dents knowledge in both types of science and prepares him for later courses. New equipment is also added each year, which holds the interest of the students.

Literature from the past and the present offers a va- riety of interesting reading material. Two years of French and Latin are of- fered for the college-bound student. In French II, students add a knowledge of the history of France to their study, while in Latin II, students read myths and stories of the adventures of Julius Caesar and the Roman people. The dramatics class and the newly organized Speech Club enable a student to study and develop techniques in debating, public speaking, enunciating, and increas- ing vocabulary. Altogether, our English department is very complete and well-rounded. A B.H.S. graduate leaves with a thorough background which may lead to outstanding work in any field. Freshmen struggle through spelling quiz. Miss Hammock and Jenny Yelverton take time out from studies to enjoy French II party. Teaches English French.

The courses that are offered in this field are civics, world history, world geography, and United States history. Each of these courses is a Step on the ladder of learning in preparation for higher courses, such as United States government. Because of the knowledge they have acquired, the students at B.H.S. have an excellent reason to be proud of their History Department. Government students struggle through Mrs. Cobbs' No. 1'' pop tests. Mary Sue Hawkes gives aninteresting report in World History.
