Ninth graders begin their high school history studies with Civics. World History is offered primarily for tenth graders. American History is required of all and is recommended for the eleventh grade. American Problems is offered on the twelfth grade level as an elective course. Through studying the footprints of our fore- fathers, we are better prepared to go into the future and make our own footprints on the sands of time.

The library is one of the most frequently used rooms in Greenwood High School. It is used as a study hall and a library from 9 in the morning until 3:15 in the afternoon. Many stu- dents also used it for study before school and at noon. The library shelves and stacks con- tain many volumes of references, non- fictional books, novels, and current magazines. The magazine reading room proved to be a most popular place. Much time and work were given by J. R. Scarborough, librarian, in main- taining the library. Keeping the books up to date and in order, checking books in and out, and taking care of the study hall were just a few of his many duties.
