The purpose of Culpeper High School is to train students to be good citizens and to assume their place in society after graduation whether it be business, home, or college. The faculty and administration work to achieve this pur- pose through a two-fold program. The cur- riculum which offers college preparatory, general, and commercial courses, is the basis for knowledge while the extra-curricular pro- gram develops traits of good citizenship. The Class of 1957 must have attained sixteen Carnegie units above the eighth grade in order to graduate, while the Classes of 1958 and 1959, being required to take physical education, will graduate with more units. Beginning with the Class of i960, the graduate will have completed the equivalent of four and one-half units in the eighth grade and have 17 Carnegie units above the eighth grade, one of these being in physical education. Credit is given for all eighth grade Parse Sentences, Speed Reading Rates — E. Garris, sentences in English class. Belozv right, D. Curtis, E. Gore, V. Maddox, and C.
