We Become Better Acquainted With Others Through Languages and Social Studies The study of foreign languages helps in promoting international good-feeling and understanding. Miss Eubank teaches Latin I and II. These courses give the student an opportunity to learn of the classics and culture of ancient Rome. Mr. Vess teaches French I and II. This gives the student an opportunity to learn the customs of a modern country. Miss Eubank Mr. Vess Mrs. Beale Mrs. Ledford Mr. Versprille A major objective of the social studies program is the development of fundamental concepts concerning the economic, social, and cultural life of the people through exploring the com- munity as well as other sources of in- formation. Mrs. Beale, Miss Eubank, Mrs. Ledford, and Mr. Versprille have strived to make this objective a reality.

We Become More Discriminating Through Mathematics and Science Today, more than e er b efore, if we are to understand our civilization and sur- roundings, and if we are to make wise de- cisions, it is necessary for us to have some knowledge of scientific principles and methods and to develop scientific attitudes. Those teachers who have helped us to- ward these goals are Miss McBride, Mr. Ledford, and Mr. Lentz. both as a student and later as an adult, to live more intelligently in the quantitative society of today. Those teachers who have made this pos- sible are Mrs. Magette, Mr. Lassister, Mrs. Cotton, and Mrs. Jackson.

We Become More Appreciative of the Arts Through Music Mr. Barton We Become Better Balanced, Physically and Mentally, Through Health and Physical Education The health and physical education de- partment strives to build physical abilities and control by providing a rich program of many activities that help develop neuro- muscular skills. Physical education also teaches fair play and teamwork. Through health instruction continued emphasis is placed upon personal hygienic habits with regard to care of the body, nails, hair, skin, teeth, eyes, ears, nose, throat, and feet. Music is one of the oldest and most important of man ' s arts. It is all around us. Great is the power of music. It may soothe or enchant; it is an international language; it provides an escape to a dream world. Mr. Barton strives to awaken in each student cultural appre- ciation for music. By exercise, drills, and hard practice, he has attained much success with his students.
