Mrs. Belk Mr. Johnson History department provides field trips to interest students Early in the year, the government classes and an eleventh grade history class went on a trip to Washington, D.C. In the morning, the students toured Arlington Cemetery, then went to the White House and saw President Nixon welcoming a foreign dignitary to the United States. The group also visited the House of Repre- sentatives and the Senate which were in session. Lunch was served in the Rayburn Building. To- wards the end of the day the classes went to the Supreme Court. A variety of field trips were planned by the history department. Some of the ninth grade classes went to see a movie and in November, Mrs. Lowry’s eleventh grade class went to Nor- folk. For the government classes, the movie “Advise and Consent” was shown. Many improvements were made in the effi- ciency of the history office. A copying machine was added and materials were reorganized. 27

Students were trained not only for secretarial, bookkeeping or clerical work but for college and everyday living. A course in stenography was offered which included typing, shorthand and filing. In the bookkeeping classes, students were taught how to keep budgets and accounts. Dictat- ing machines were utilized by-students learning shorthand. All students were encouraged to take at least one business course before they graduated since knowledge of business has been a necessity in most areas of work. Mrs. Flemer Mrs. Mosher
