We Ceam Our Realizing that a complete understand- ing of English is essential, the English teachers of Charlotte High School were very concerned about the students' achievements. They helped the students not only to improve their reading and writing abilities, but also to understand and to logically organize their ideas and opinions. The controlled reading program, which was given to the freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors, was also helpful to the students as it increased their reading speed plus it raised their percentage of comprehension. During the first semester, Mrs. Mitchell's 2nd hour Comp class learned the techniques of writing compositions. The joke's on you, Mr. McCabe!

Social studies is, as the name implies, the study of the components of our society, geography, economics, government, etc. or the history of how our society evolved to its present stage and what influences keep it there or cause it to continue evolving. The social studies department of Charlotte High School gave all of the twelve hundred students in her six grades of junior and senior high the opportunity to learn about and appreciate more about our country, its political and historical landmarks and characteristics, as well as the geography, economics, and history of the rest of planet Earth. The increasing importance of international politics and the increasing importance of understanding the political and economical problems of the other peoples of the world necessitated more and more emphasis on social studies in high school. yesterday 28
