Senior Government students observe a closed-circuit T.V. experiment arranged by county officials. “Team Teaching” tried Team spirit is contagious! At least, it appeared to be as U. S. History teachers in the Social Studies Department joined together to formu¬ late plans for “team teaching” in their classes. By this method, a weekly schedule, which pro¬ vided for lectures by various teachers, was set up for each U. S. History class. “Team teach¬ ing” enabled teachers to use their training to its fullest extent, and students to receive various instructors’ viewpoints. Sociology-Economics made its debut this fall when almost 100 students were enrolled in its three classes. Sociology students heard tapes about brainwashing and divorce, and learned about alcoholism from a talk by Dr. Doris Wood¬ ward in March. This election year gave social studies teachers the opportunity to illustrate the system of dem¬ ocratic elections. In the spring, U. S. Govern¬ ment classes studied a unit on Communism.

Visual aids and wide For the 1250 students taking one or more courses in mathematics, the Department has pre¬ sented excellent material the past five years be¬ cause of various assets. Well-trained teachers present a wide scope of courses—math, algebra, advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, analysis and trigonometry. Excellent visual aids, such as graph charts, solid figures, and plastic devices have assisted the student in his grasping of functional mathematics. Easily accessible at the school library is a large collection of books dealing with mathematics. This collection was granted to Groveton High by the American Association for the .Advancement of Science. Students also henefited from a dem¬ onstration by Mr. Linwood Murray on the me¬ chanics of a slide rule. A basic requirement of a “C” average in preceding math courses was set for students continuing into higher mathematics.
