This Way to History The Social Studies Department has the most varied program at CHS. World geography, civics, world history, U.S. history, government, and eco- nomics are the courses offered to each student. Some of these subjects are required, but a well se- lected curriculum gives the student a chance at them all. He can read about the exciting days of Washington in U.S. history or compare varied cultures in world history and geography. A history lover may want to explore the economic world around him or the detailed workings of his govern- ment. It is the dream of every youth one day to be involved in the workings of the democratic process, and through our History Department he learns what reponsibilities will be placed on his shoulders. He soon finds out that a thorough knowledge of history is needed to make his society a better place in which to live. Cecilroy J.

HAVE A COOKIE . . . Harold Carpenter chalks up a few cookie points” as Mrs. Noel helps him with a math problem. Math Solved “Spinning Wheels” might well de- scribe students ' feelings in the math courses, since getting numbers they put down to come up with the right answers is a major problem. However, under the direction of capable instruc- tors, this major problem can easily be turned into a minor one. So, around and around go students and teachers in the game of numbers to see how the odds come out at the end of the year. Basic math. Algebra I, II, geometry, and advanced math offer each student, according to his talents and needs, a chance to explore the challenging world of mathematics. 21

Everybody’s Business CHS plays a leading role in training students by instructing them in certain business and technical skills. The Business Department revolves around skills needed for secretarial work. Girls who select a commercial course receive instruction in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and general business, all beneficial in securing a job after graduation. Industrial arts offer students a chance to be creative. Woodworking, shop, electricity, and mechanical drawing skills combine to provide the students with varied vocational education. DE students learn how to use the latest sales techniques, how to handle business transactions, and how to get along with their employer. In fact, practical knowledge gained in busi- ness, industrial arts, or DE will be valuable in everyday life. Phillip B. [)ougla! B.S. West Virginia llniversity; Wood- working; .IV Eootball.
