OF STUDENT TRAVELERS qi 0 4.-. 35, X . A modern school building well equipped and staffed by a well-prepared faculty was the daily destination of the high school students of Cul- peper County. Classrooms, teachers, and a modern course of study combined to meet the purpose for which the stream of students flowed over county roads, town streets, and country lanes. The main road down the highway of learning was the academic one stressing high standards of achievement. The faculty and administration pointed out the courses for students to follow and also acquainted them with the basic knowledge of a particular subject. But the faculty were more than teachers: each one was individually inter- ested in the welfare and progress of the student down the road of learning. Faculty members at CHS numbered twenty- eight, all of whom endeavored to make the road of life a little smoother as they strove to instill traits of citizenship along with the readin', writin', and lrithmetic. Each faculty member was adviser for a club or athletic organization, proving their desire to go a step farther than the usual distance. Klany times this advisership de- manded attendance at dances, chaperoning an all-day journey or a field trip, or long hours of supervised activity after school. Through the superb guidance and instruction, the students learned to travel the road of good school and community citizenship. Brandy Road. lffccfr left. C. S. Routes 29 and 15, coming into Culpeper.
