College Preparatory courses are designed specifically to produce well-trained students who can readily adapt to col- lege work and will be suited to carry their education well past high school. Fifty years ago, there was little need for the many courses which are novv offered. As fields of work and interest have opened up, so our curriculums have expanded to meet these needs. Many of Charleston High School's courses have been added to meet the entrance requirements of colleges. As any college will say, four years of English is the prime requisite. We in Charleston High can vvell be proud of our fine English Department, which uses the latest in resources and material to aid willing students. Journalism, an elective, is especially helpful to students who wish to further pursue literary work. It is generally scheduled in place of Junior English. As technological development grows by leaps and bounds in our changing world, so the demand for men and women well trained in the sciences increases iust as rapidly. In Phys- ics and Chemistry classes, pupils are acquainted with the lat- est theories and research development, and also receive a fine background of accepted and tried material. Laboratory experiments help discipline students to methodical work, precise calculations, and logical thought. These Physics students anxiously wait for the balance to come to rest before recording their re- sults. David King prepares to light the Bunsen burner for his Chemistry experiment.
