MR. JOHN MURPHY Department Chairman Va. — U.S. Govt., American Civ. . “I know I put that paper somewhere.” COL. HENRY MAC DANIEL World Geography “Athens has always been in Greece.” MRS. WILMA HAMILTON World History, World Civ. Third quarter Junior and Senior Social Studies classes were offered electives such as “The Battle of the Sexes”, and “Let the Buyer Beware.” World Civilization was taught by two teachers. The Freshmen got an overall view of the classics, beginning with ancient Egypt and continuing to examine various eras up to the present, and related their findings to their own lives, as in Humanities and American Civilization. Sociology helped the students find a place for themselves in today’s society and realize their relationship to others. This theme is also emphasized in Psychology. The students learn self-acceptance and behavioral control to help them in their future roles as parents. Emphasis is placed on a goal for the students after graduation. The goal for every Social Studies teacher was to get his students to think. NOT PICTURED: MRS.

MR. BERNARD GARHART Department Chairman Consumer Math, Algebra I, Calculus AB BC “Honest, you really are getting an interim.” MISS ELLEN COMEAU Geometry, Algebra I A new approach to Algebra was the latest innovation in the math department. A test at the beginning of the year helped to evaluate both the students’ aptitude and achievement in math so that they could be grouped accordingly. It was hoped that this would create a more advantageous learning environment for all and give the students a sounder background in Algebra, which in turn aids them in higher mathematics, as well as in everyday logic.
