Of America Miss Laura Thornhill, top, shows Latin students Sarah Willis, Donna Callahan, Virginia Parker, Cherry Gorham, and Ann Rawlings, the picture of Venus de Milo which was presented to the school. Algebra students, bottom, Alexan- der Swan, Sarah Willis, Joyce Tutwiler, Jacquelin Coff- man, and Frederic Brault listen with attentive interest as Miss Margaret Brown explains the problem. Students planning to attend college follow the course of study known as the college pre- paratory course. Culpeper High School’s offering in this course is sufficiently broad to enable its gradu- ates to meet the entrance requirements of any college. Since entrance requirements for the various colleges differ somewhat, it is well for a college-bound student to decide upon a college as early as his sophomore year so that he can choose those subjects which will prepare him to enter the specific school of his choice. Only those students making “A”, “B”, or “C” grades are recommended for college. The college preparatory student must take the English, United States history, and civics required of all. fie must also have two units of algebra, one of plane geometry, and two of science. To complete his sixteen units for grad- uation he should choose from the following list of courses: Latin, Spanish, chemistry, physics, world history, solid geometry, trigonometry, and typing. In choosing he should be guided by the entrance requirements of the college he plans to attend. 19

CHAPTER II “On the next pages are our friends who at- tend school with us — 560 of them. We go to- gether to club meetings, assemblies, frequent the library and attend six classes and study hall. We are constantly with friends whether it be in clubs, in the lunch or candy line, or riding the buses to school. Our friendship does not lapse when 3:15 comes, for we also see each other at school dances, football and basketball games, band concerts, and other outside activi- ties organized for us. “Styles come and go. This year we acquired the short hair cuts for the girls. Of course, I got one. The duck hair cuts made the boys com- plete as you can see by Johnny. The boys be- gan wearing pink shirts with charcoal pants and pink ties and socks to match. Knee length socks and long beads became a big thing with the girls. Both boys and girls became interested in pastel sweaters. We all strove to keep up with new styles. “Come on and follow us and meetour friends.” [ 21 }■-
