A Desire to Learn Brings Success Young coeds learn to cook, sew, plan, and decorate a home. It arouses the interest, attitudes and appreciation of skills of which may lead to vocations or hobbies. Many courses are offered, including home economics, threshold to living, interior decorating, scientific cookery, and planning for two. In addition classes also take many field trips and have guest speakers. A tea is held during the Christmas holidays to acquaint the parents with the home economics department. Limestone mathematics educators continue to emphasize the importance of math courses. The courses include: general math, senior math, algebra, geometry, advanced geometry, analytic geometry, trig- enometry, and calculus. Limestone has all the mathematics courses needed for college.

They learn through experience and prove problems from ge- netics, dissections, laboratory experiments, classroom work, lectures, films, and field trips.

Participation Stimulates Interest The social science department, under the leadership of Miss Helen Schmidt, meets the challenge of teaching history and political science with the use of visual aids. Since Limestone students are only required to take two social science courses, the department is able to offer courses in inter- national relations, world history, geography, and sociology. Square dancing, volleyball, softball, tumbling, and other events dealing with sports is handled by the department of Physical Education. This year under the direction of Mr. Robert Schmitt the students in the physical education classes saw the old balcony being converted into showers and classrooms. Through the use of electronic recorders the students in Lime- stones foreign language department will be able to learn the correct pronunciation of the language they arc learning to speak. Mr. Jack Clinton, head of the department, has included into his plans of the foreign language lab enough equipment to enable thirty students to participate at their own speed. Bill Allison tries his head as a foot. Student participation helps to keep classes interesting. 26 Tumbling gives you a little different perspective on things.
