pASSpORtS Through social studies we gained essential knowledge with which to combat future prob¬ lems. In economics and sociology, seniors ana¬ lyzed our economic standing and their own relationships with others. During first period— United States History, juniors tried desperately to take notes and listen at the same time. Per¬ haps the geography-government students, who combined geographical facts with a study of governmental structure, may even produce a future President! Sophomores, in an attempt to reach World War II before the end of the year, learned about the rise and fall of ancient civi¬ lizations in world history. Mr. Pate Fish briefs economics students on some technical points about insurance. 22

Freshmen tackled Algebra I and general math with expressions of amazement, while seniors and sophs struggled with triangles and theorems. Algebra II, with its difficult equations and endless word problems, brought added worries to the juniors. For business-minded students, business arithmetic was also offered. What a quandary! Judy Dudley strikes a typical pose in Algebra II. 21

W to un6eRstAn6inq Jeanne Karabow, Kay Keitli, and Jimmy Stephens increase their fluency in the language lab. Whether the language be “dead,” romantic, or continen¬ tal, its study will prove useful to all students in the future, if not immediately. Through the three languages offered at Fuquay, students became acquainted with the beliefs, cus¬ toms, and feelings of other countries and received an intro¬ duction to their history and culture. A future in linguistics can develop into international scope, and Fuquay has well prepared any student who might enter such a field through courses in French, Latin, and Spanish. “?Como csta usted?” Mary Olive Johnson and Skipper Phelps exchange greetings in Spanish.
