LIBRARIAN PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Front Row: Mrs. Hazel H. Morrell Mr. J. Sherman League Miss Frances Faucette Second Row: Mr. A. Wayne Mahanes Mr. C. M. Price, Jr. Mrs. Lynn F. Clarke The new library has provided much needed space for the librarian’s work and for the storage of audio-visual equipment. There is sufficient space for seating more students and for books to be added in the future. The Physical Education Department is placing its emphasis on physical fitness for all students through vigorous exercise. Our aim is for each student to be fit enough to pass the minimum physical fitness test set up by the Federal Program. In addition, we are stressing the basic skills and rules of a number of sports. The three-year unit plan is being used in the health classes, covering 1 3 of the book each year. MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music Department is made up of band and choral offer¬ ings. Anyone in school is eligible for either organization, upon showing any degree of musical aptitude. The 70-piece band has achieved a degree of repetition in our area both in concert work and in their marching prowess. Playing the most difficult grade VI music last year for the first time, the band received a rating of Good. The same grade will be played again this year. The 48-voice chorus has some of the best singers of the history of the group. By using some of the girls in the tenor parts to help the small group of boys, a well-balanced per¬ forming group is possible. 18 Mr. Robert G. Sanger

BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Mrs. Pauline B. Harvey Mrs. Mary C. Roberts Mrs. Catherine G. Lincoln One of our aims in the Business Education De- partment is to help make the transition from high school to the initial job a satisfactory one for both the student and the employer. We feel that we can accomplish this by using the latest textbooks and teaching methods in developing the skills required for the clerical and stenographic jobs. FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Mrs. Caroline C. Tucker Mrs. Beverly D. Hill Mrs. Joanne F. Lee The Foreign Language Department hopes that in teaching children Latin, French, Russian or Spanish we will enrich their lives with a language other than their own, and also with a glimpse of the life, people, and customs of the lands in which that language is spoken.

GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. Whitehead look over some of their brochures on careers. This fall the Guidance Department moved into new quarters and, now that students have learned not to go to the clinic but to what was the Music Department, work is proceeding as usual. The counselors hope that this expansion in space will make pos¬ sible an expansion in services. Mrs. Coleman checks over the blue slips for subject failures. The faculty Guidance Committee, composed of Mr. Price, Mr. Clarke, Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. Whitehead, meets once a month to discuss problems in the area of guidance. 19
