We are called in session today to take immediate action on the eighteen year old vote. The Social Studies Department gave students an opportunity to become involved in such activities as a mock Senate. Through projects, debates, and discussions, students gained an insight into the work of the government. Students also received an inspiration for furthering their knowledge. Providing instruction that gave FCHS students a deeper under- standing of the events of the past, the Social Studies Department trained the leaders of tomorrow and encouraged them to be proud of their country and its heritage. Class participation is very important in Mr. Ayers government class as is evident by the interest displayed during the discussion of Chapter 2. Denny D.

Students To Think For Themselves The area of a rhombus is one-half of the product of the lengths of its diagonals. I just don’t see why! Students could be heard exclaiming frustration after many attempts at solving mathematical problems which seemed insolvable. Courses in the Math Department were designed to better prepare students for college and the problems of a changing world. Well qualified instructors sought to teach the why of math and to help students think for themselves as they prepared for the future. A variety of subjects were offered including Math IV, geometry, algebra, calculus, and consumer math. Mrs. Elizabeth McLaughlin B.S.; Concord College; Geometry; Algebra II; Math IV; FTA Spon- sor Mrs. Dorothy Phelps B.S.; M.Ed.; Bluefield State College; Wayne State University; Art; Algebra I; Geometry; The Animo Sponsor Mr. Handran helping a student with a problem is a typical scene in consumer math class. 27
