“That’s Where They Kept the Prisoners.” — Leslie right picture, Scott Bywaters shows Mr. Charles Pendleton Taylor tells Edward Garrison about the feudal castle he the location of Korea, made for World History. In World Geography class, Special Projects Add Interest to History Courses All history students did special projects which broadened the scope of the courses. The projects, book reports, term papers, and civics articles gave the students chances to investi- gate extra material. Maps, charts, and films enable the teachers to present a clearer picture of the textbook material. “See Any Mis- TAKES?”-Eighth grade history students, Sue Curtis, Miriam Kirkland, Pa- tricia Ankers, Karen Pierce, and Patricia Jacobs proof read their essays before handing them into Mrs. Roland Clement. 20

Honor Science Students Do Review Work “Where Is It?” — John Walker, one of the six Honor Science students, searches for a scientific principle that he wants to include in one of his three detailed research papers. The five boys and one girl taking the course worked on their own during fourth period in Room 7. The six students worked in pairs, each two spending two six weeks on biology, chemistry, and physics. These advanced students wrote research papers and planned science projects having to do with their twelve particular courses. When spending their twelve weeks on physics, the two students helped Mr. John Peifer in his physics labs. Besides having fourth period together, the six students had sixth period study hall in Room 32 so as to have the opportunity to do further work together. Physics students benefited by several pieces of new equipment. They took advantage of a ripple tank and a light reflector. Biology and chemistry students benefited from the equipment bought to supplement that which was old and broken. Laboratory glassware was bought for both departments. “Do You See What You’re Supposed To See?” — Scott Chilton, center, explains to Dennis Seliquini and Billy Hensley the way to use a microscope in biology class. Joyce Clark, right picture, attempts to bend light in a physics experiment while Ulysses Sudduth, seated, John W ilson, and Cyrus Will watch. 10

“A is to B as B is to A” — Mr. Ford Currence explains proportional triangles to Michael Carpenter. Sidney Seale solves a solid geometry problem for the class. Math Department Asks For Collegiate Help To provide the intermediate step between contemporary geometry and honors mathe- matics, the department offered trig-algebra. College-level trigonometry composed the first semester’s work. Pupils studied inverse functions, identities, and triangular measure- ment. The second term was a composite course. Instructor Mrs. Walter Palmer and math professors of the University of Virginia discussed the areas in which college freshmen have the most difficulty. She combined their suggestions and information from several advanced algebra texts. “This is How You do it.” — Marsha Pierce shows Lawrence Cline the funda- mentals of solving an Alge- bra I problem. 21
