A., University of Alabama fi,-'fb Qt' 'S NNW ' .L .psig Social Studies In the Social Studies Department, business law, vocational guidance, American history, world history, and economic geography are taught. In business law, we discuss politics and the method of handling elections. This is so interesting that many of us have decided we would like to become lawyers or to be active in politics. World history and American history is the story of the beginning of civilization up to the present time. We have found out that thls information is con- nected with many of our other subjects, which proves very helpful. Mrs. Bob McPherson B. S., University of Georgia NIU! French Johnson Bill Glenn B.

Each student taking a scientific sub- ject was required to enter a project. From these projects, a first, second and third place prize was given for each division of science, and the winning projects were sent to the state Science Fair in Athens, Georgia. Two of our students won first and second place, and four students won honorable mention in the state. The exhibits were of the highest caliber, and without the help of our teachers, we could not have represented our school so successfully. Yes, these teachers who have guided and encouraged us are deserving of our highest praise. L . jg le i 5. A . fi S E' .,-.','ii Z , ,ix g Wm! I4 ' Ay ir X I V ,f Q.

Are Important We study about different countries and their re- sources in economic geography. We are required to keep a notebook on these countries, and extra credit is given for additional information about each coun- try. In vocational guidance, tests are given to help us determine our abilities and interests. After this has been determined, we can more capably choose the field we wish to enter, and select the course which best prepares us for this career. The courses from which we may choose are Commercial, Classical and Scientific. Mrs. Merrill Crissey A. B., G. S. C. George Griffin A. B., Emory University Miss Virginia Odum l Harrison Anderson M.
