Juniors The Curriculum States For the class of eighty-four, the curriculum is changing. The requirements are different from those for the class of eighty- three. The Eighth Grade does not count towards graduation for this class or the classes following it. Next year, quarters are to be- come semesters and quarter hours will become units. The science curriculum states that one must have taken 15 hours in physical science and 15 hours in biological science for a Nothing but rigid training, long persisted in, can perfect the character of men and women. total of 30. There is also an addi- tional 15 hours that one needs in science or math. The physical science classes include earth sci- ence, energy and measure- ments, and physics. Courses of- fered for the eleventh graders are human biology, horticulture, chemical structure, physics, and genetics. Mr. Woods stated that there are no required classes but that one needs 30 hours towards graduation. However usually stu- dents take math up to their sen- ior year. Usually one would be taking advanced algebra, ele- mentary functions, and trigo- nometry during their junior year if one had started taking algebra in their eighth grade year. Also like math, English has no required classes. One needed 60 quarter hours to graduate. There was a balance between writing and reading in these classes. Usually in the eleventh grade one would take U.S. Democracy, U.S. Reform, and Modern U.S. Every hour sees the blacit man elbowed out of employ- ment by some newly arrived emigrant whose hunger and whose color are thought to give him a better title to the place. provided that you have not taken the American History classes during the tenth grade. One also took U.S. Law as a citizenship course, which one had to have to graduate. Sociology and psychol- ogy classes usually were taken in the eleventh and twelfth grades if one wished to continue in social studies after completing the re- quired classes. f Faculty Faculty Faculty Faculty Faculty Faculty Faculty Faculty Faculty Fc No comment.
