Baseball Twenty-Six PT'ers Progress Rapidly MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT The Mathematics department is building a pro- gram geared to the student's ability and to the high standards demanded by the space age. Two classes in a programmed course enable the excep- tional student to complete the regular mathe- matics courses offered at G.W. and to continue with college-level material. Members of the Mathematics department are serving as a committee which will select text- books for grades 8-12 for state adoption. Texts chosen by the local faculty will be voted on by individual schools throughout the state. Ethel Forehand-M.A. Thelma Naylor-A.B. Head Carolyn Kent-B.A. Sandra Gayle Yount-B.S.

The fac- ulty of this department serves as sponsors. With promoting interest and understanding in national and international affairs as its purpose, the International Re- lations Club meets once a month in the homes of members. Membership is limited to juniors and seniors. Juniors must have an overall B average. Seniors must have a B average in social studies for at least one semester. The IRC frequently meets with other clubs for programs of special interest.

Among those who addressed the club were Mr. Juby Towler, Coordinator of Civil Defense activities in Danville, and Mr, George Anderson, assistant mayor of Danville. The main project of the year was a Christmas party for the re- tarded children at the Richard Smith School. These two clubs work in cooperation with the social studies department to develop conscientious students who are working toward developing good citizenship.

Learning by Doing Stressed by lndustrialists INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT In the Industrial Arts classes, students work with materials, tools, and processes indigenous to industrial plants. They plan and construct projects in the area of their choosing under ex- pert supervision. Newly formed to complement the latest addi- tion to the curriculum at G.W., the Industrial Training Club is comprised of members of the Industrial Cooperative Training program. This program offers an opportunity for students to train on-the-job in service, skilled, industrial, and semi-professional pursuits. The objectives of the I.C.T. Club, an authorized chapter of Diversified Occupations Clubs of America, are the fostering of character, leader- ship, craftsmanship, citizenship, and fellowship.
