Have you ever felt like finding someone to carry your books? Students in the ad- vanced history program often had this feeling as they staggered through the halls carrying their 4 1 2 pound history books. Only two years old, the program pro- vided juniors with an in depth look at American His- tory. The classes, divided into two semesters, began with the Post Civil War years of 1877 and ended with the present time. May 1977. Sophomores had the oppor- tunity to learn about the peo- ple and culture of other na- tions in World History classes. Seniors had a variety of courses from which to choose, depending on individual tastes. Each course, taught half a semester with Ameri- can Government being re- quired, proved interesting. Humanities, offered as a college preparatory class for the past two years, em- phasized the artistic and cultural achievements of the Renaissance man. Trips to Whitfield, Parchman, and : other public and private in- stitutions highlighted So- ciology classes, as students studied human relationships. In Economics, trips to local brokerage offices provided students with a closer look at the production, consump- tion, and distribution of wealth. Other courses of- fered included American Democracy, the study of the economical, social, and political background of the United States; and World Georgraphy, the study of the world and the people in it. b MUSCLE BUILDER.

POP! POP! QUIZ! QUIZ! Clear your desks. Take out one sheet of paper, and number it one through ten, rang out the notorious cry from math and science teachers. In be- tween the numerous quizzes and pop tests, there always seemed time for lectures on countless numbers of ways to work an endless stream of problems. You could take your pick from the fields of science by either disecting frogs in Biology, burning fingers during Chemistry experiments, or construct- ing homemade musical in- struments in Physics, Learning to add, sub- tract, multiply, and divide numbers in different ways proved a constant challenge for math students. Con- sumer and Fundamental IVIath classes learned the basic techniques, while Geometry classes worked with theorems and proofs. Advanced Math students struggled with Trigonom- etry, Solid Geometry, and Prob ability. With the aid of the computer terminal used for two months in the fall and spring, accelerated math students learned how to run and write computer programs as a class as- signment. The computer connected at Jackson State University found simplier and easier methods of solving problems. SOMETHING ' S BURNING as Tim Hogue and Danny Freeman fire polish glass.
