URRICUIJUM . . . Within each student is embedded a de- sire to be successful in his life's work. He may occasionally stray from his objective, but all the while he is absorbing the culture of past civilizations and profiting from their successes and failures. There is something in the study of romance languages, litera- ture, grammar, history, and music that satisfies the craving for esthetic enjoyment. For students who have acquired the scienti- fic mind, there is the study of mathematics, science, and related fields. Those who seek practical skills gain many rewards in the study of home economics, industrial shop, business training, and physical education. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of individual students and to train them to be useful members of society. The students who plan to go to college and those who wish to go directly into business or in- dustry find courses at H.P.H.S. to fit their individual needs. All STROVE TO PERFECT 'THE KlNG'S ENGLlSH.' Miss Highfill proudly displays her Christmas bulle- tin board to sophomore, Dale Walker. Fourteen English teachers of H.P.H.S. impressed upon the minds of the students the importance of correct punctuation, sen- tence structure, and spelling. Themes, busi- ness and social letters, oral talks, and read- ing in literature helped to develop skill in clear thinking and effective communication. Although Caesar's Gallic Wars did not ring a bell in some students' minds, it was of great significance to Latin students. Freshmen and sophomores learned of the customs and legends of the Roman people. A required project each semester supple- mented the daily classwork and parallel reading.
