Curriculum Heads List English III students write book reports. Boys in physical education class play baseball. Culpeper County High School provided a variety of subjects and opportunities for its stu- dents. Certain basic subjects were required, but students were allowed to select from a list of electives a sufficient number of studies to round out their curriculum for the sixteen Carnegie units needed for graduation. I he eighth grade did not provide any of these credits. Work in this bracket was largely exploratory. The first of three courses offered was the col- lege preparatory designed for those who planned to continue their education beyond high school. These students studied four years of English; two years each of science, algebra, and physical education ; one year each of plane geometry, United States history, and senior civics. Usually two years of Latin and or two years of Spanish were among the electives. The other electives were selected on the basis of the career or college of the individual student’s choice. To be eligible for college recommendation, a student must have made a “C” average or better on his academic work. To maintain this average was a challenge for each college-bound student. 2 ( 1 + }
