Students Carry Dog Tags to Library Although all teachers contribute to this program, a special committee of teachers have a class period a day assigned for this. These teachers check records regularly and have special individual conferences with students who aren’t doing so well in school. The guid- ance office contains the most recent informa- tion available on a variety of occupations. It also has the latest college catalogs. Another step to better education is the evaluation committee. These men and women from all parts of Virginia came to CCIIS foi four days in March and evaluated twenty- three areas of the school’s educational program. The four main areas were math, English, science, and history. Each report, emphasiz- ing the strong and weak points of the school, contained a general statement, observations, and recommendations. Effective evaluation produces better instruction and a better educational program for the pupils of Culpeper County High School.

OBSERVING V.V.V V 1 •v VV VV V V N S S VvVVV and remembering the largest Corps of Students The sundial was shocked but happy to find that the number of students enrolled at CCHS for the 1960-1961 term had increased to 730 from the 675 total of last year. Living in town, in the country, and in adjoining counties, these students drove cars, rode buses, or walked to school. The seniors and faculty were allowed to use the parking spaces at the back of the building while the underclassmen parked out front. Last year’s students greeted their old friends and met new ones. Distracted eighth graders wandered around the halls for the first few days and finally got settled except for an occasional upset. Shorter pleated skirts, sweaters adorned with circle pins, and monogrammed sweaters were the popular dress for the year. Hairdos changed color and became shorter. Mrs. Ray Evans, the photographer, took individual pictures of the student body in October. All the girls wore black sweaters except for the eighth graders, who wore white blouses. The boys’ dress varied from sweaters to suits. The seniors were each allowed three proofs from which they could pick one for their senior picture. They were also permitted to purchase the regular kit that underclassmen buy. When Class Day was held in May, no one could enter by the front door except seniors, who wore white dresses and suits. Several days after Class Day, school ended. The sundial grieved over the loss of the senior class but soon forgot his troubles and turned his thoughts to the new eighth graders who would arrive in September. Admiring Glances from All Levels — illiam Osborn — senior, opposite page, demonstrates how to tell time by the sundial to Jane Hudson — freshman, Robert Cornwell — sophomore, Lawrence Levy — eighth grade, and Grace W eakley — junior.
