Classwork It's not for me was the conclusion reached by students of the government class after a six week's course in Com- munism as practiced today. These students were the first to receive such a course. Observing the county court in action, visit- ing the Civil War Centennial building, and illustrating their work with models, maps, and graphs were special projects of social Science classes: Research projects made Latin classes interesting, and four students entered the state-wide Latin Tournament. English students often sang lustily as they played recordings from such literary gems as “The King and I, but later groaned as they tackled assigned essays and term papers. 22

Those STANDING are Alice Putney, Peggy Harrison, Rose Barrett, Jeanette Kirby, Rita Taper- ino, Billy Horst, and Mary Ann Bryant. Classwork With the help of student librarians, books and other materials were made readily available to students and teachers. Formal classes in library science were taught to eighth graders, and special in- struction in research was given to upper class students. A class in advanced algebra was taught for the first time at CiH.sS. Instruction in the use of the slide rule was a part of this course. Geometry students created and displayed designs illustrating geometric principles. New equipment, including many new models, made all science instruction more effective, and live and preserved speci - mens of strange animals opened up a new world to many biology students. ap John Broughton, Allen Hazlegrove, and George Thomas are intent upon an experiment in chemistry class. To improve their understanding of the flower, Sandra Judy and Larry Atkins examine a model acquired this year for the biology class. John Glenn receives help in advanced math from Miss Lucy Swink, a student teacher from Longwood College.
