Members of the mathematics staff, con- tinuously strive to open new horizons to stu- dents in the subdivisions of general mathe- matics, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced mathematics. The principles and concepts which they relate in detail to the Carver student body, not only prepare students for the demands they must meet in a society which grows continuously more technical, but enables them to explore more deeply this evergrowing field of science. It is of major importance that students are not only instilled with standard axioms and prin- ciples, but are inspired to seek the new, the unknown. MRS. E. CHRISTIAN Chairman - Mathematics Department An essential portion of the education of our students is provided by the foreign lan- guage department, which is composed of Spanish and French subdivisions. The dedi- cated teachers of this field (Miss E. Jones, Mrs. K. Brown, Mr. W. Roseboro) seek to acquaint students, not only with the conver- sational and written language, but with the history and culture of its origin country as well. In the newly added language laboratory, students become associated with the standard dialect of French or Spanish as it is spoken by its respective countrymen, thus develop- ing fluency in speaking. MISS E. JONES Chairman - Foreign Language

Science seeks not to memorize but to discover, not to learn but to comprehend, and furthermore not to accept but to inquire. These are basic concepts drilled into the conscientious pupils of all grade levels now enrolled in our science classes. They possess the intellect to discover, comprehend and inquire and further make accurate conclu- sions thereby furthering and advancing the dome of man’s wisdom. MRS. J. D. HOLMES Chairman - Science Department It is of major importance that the mem- bers of our student body be well -acquainted with the language which is their means of daily communication; therefore, members of the English staff continuously emphasize the main divisions of our native language. In addition, students are given a knowledge of great literary works, as well as the styles and methods that they employ, and creativ- ity in writing on the part of the students is highly encouraged.

Plagued on all fronts by torments of chaos in the forms of hate, distrust, unscrupulous living, and the zenith of destructive force, in war, America must remain cognizant and of her roles, and position, and responsibility, as are set forth in U. S. Government, Ameri- can and World History courses offered in our institution. These classes remain the prime source of all pertinent information expected of informed students. MR. N. JONES Chairman - Social Studies Physical fitness is a demand of our time. A strong body contributes to a strong mind. The purpose of our Physical Education and Health Department is to develop recreational skills and make a direct contribution to our education. MR. W. B. COLEMAN Chairman - Health and Phys. Ed. Dept.
