Expanding in Languages Philosophy was the main course of study for advanced English students during the first half of the year. Such prominent philosophers as Sigmund Freud, Zeno, and Sartre were a few out of many to be discussed. Several trips have already taken place this year. Some in the class went to Charlotte to hear Archibald MacLeish, an American poet, reciting some of his poetry. On their way home the group stopped in Hickory to see the film of the Broadway play West Side Story . Antigone was next on the agenda for advanced English. An event which proved to be quite thrilling was the lecture given by astronaut Scott Carpenter. Mrs. McCall always urges each of her students to attend these trips to enlighten their creative ability. The senior French class has been studying French history by Francois Rabelais under the supervision of Mrs. Stover. Those who take French always appreciate the concern of Mrs. Stover and Mrs. Gregory. French students recite oral lessons. Claywell, Freud, and sex-what a way to go!
