 CLASSES AND FACULTY At Newnan High School, each student had four general programs of study to choose from: the college prep program, the industrial and vocational program, the general program, and the senior program at an area vo- tech school. The graduation requirements of the college prep pro- gram were four units of English, three units of math, three units of social sciences, two units of natural sciences, and, depending on the college, two or more units of a foreign language. The industrial and vocational program required that the student take electives relating to his interests. The pro- gram offered classes in the industrial arts, mechanical drawing, vocational office practice, home economics, and family and single living. The requirements in the general program were four units of English, three units of social sciences, one unit of phys- ical education, one unit of math, one unit of science, and another unit of either math or science. This program merely met graduation requirements. The vo-tech program was provided for seniors who were recommended by a counselor or the principal. If they received recommendations they were allowed to take one year of work at an area vo-tech school. All graduating students had to have at least eighteen to graduate no matter which program they chose. 18
