feaclers To provide the best possible educa- tional program has been a sincere desire of Mr. John D. Richmond, principal at Martinsville High School. Mr. Richmond gives much thought to changes and im- provements that can be made to help better our school curricula and facilities. He is deeply concerned about our future and devotes much time and effort to the task of helping us in our high school years to prepare for adult life. The city of Martinsville has also benefited from his administration, for Martinsville is known for its outstanding school system. Mavohi holds a place of honor among the schools in Virginia. Much of this is due to the leadership of Mr. Richmond, tor the suc- cess of Mavahi is foremost to him. Secretaries Miss Joy Anglin, Mrs. John Stephens. ll' vwiiiigtifet ii. ii Mr. John D.

ll ll jqsvwf Q55 'Mr. M. L. Carper, Administrative The students at Martinsville High School are fortunate to have Mr. M. L. Carpet as the Superintendent of schools. Mr. Carper is very interested in the work the students at Mavahi are doing, and he is always eager to help them with their problems. From his trip to Europe, Mr. Carper gained a vast knowledge of other educational systems, which he has passed on to us, the students. Without his end- less and untiring efforts reaching toward a better educational system, our high school would not be as outstanding as it is today. His office has required much behind-the-scenes work, and many of his duties have been carried out without the credit due him. We owe ci vote of thanks to Mr. Carper for his excellent job.

This well-known song from So Dear to My Heart most certainly applies to the curricula at Mavahi. The major goal of the English department is to teach pupils to think clearly and to ex- press themselves correctly and effectively both in oral and written exercises. Literature helps Mr. Lane instructs boys in woodworking. the student increase his skill in reading and broaden his knowledge of literary history. Students interested in mathematics find a challenging program of study at Martinsville High School. Courses ranging from general math to trigonometry, including two years of algebra, plane and solid geometry, train pupils in exact abstract thinking. A Quelle heure est-il? - A y l an set ' 22
