In order to understand the basic operations of a democratic republic and to build a foundation for responsible citizenship, seniors are required to study U. S. and Virginia Government. Courses in world geography, world history, and U. S. and Virginia History complete the social studies curriculum. Through these areas, stu- dents are armed to face challenging eco- nomic and social situations. Simultaneously, the values of judgment and critical analysis and the need for tolerance of differing opinions are taught. Mi. Aument reads some current events articles in order to use tliem in his classes. 28

Strong for Science Students By Mrs. Olivia T. Hinton, Cradock’s Science Department is ably headed. This is an extremely active area, in vhich students may participate in the Virginia Junior Science, Humanities, and Engineering Symposium, the Ford Future Scientists of America, NASA Youth Science Congress, Virginia Junior Academy of Science, and the Wildlife Essay Contest. Senior student Paul Ford has been placed on this year’s honors list for the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. A summer program characterizes the NSF Secondary Science Training Program. All Cradock students are required to take classes in general science and biology; for those who are college-bound or who have further specific interests, earth science, chemistry, and physics are available. These courses involve much laboratory work; ex- periments teach proper lab techniques, cor- rect handling of equipment, and critical analysis. In-service training work is being developed for the department’s faculty, a member of the Virginia Academy of Science, in order to meet rising student needs and educational challenges. The science depart- ment continually expands and progresses. George A. Perkins General and Earth Science Head Coach of Cross-country Indoor Track, and Spring Track B.S., Old Dominion College Alvin R.
