In our twelfth year, as always, the faculty and ad- ministrators of North Mecklenburg High School have led the students in new fields of study with dynamic new concepts in teaching. Our television classes are continuing to be taught and French lab classes are be- ing initiated this year. Grarnmar and literature classes are being rotated among various teachers, and even a new method of mathematics is being taught. Students who are advanced academically are given the opportunity to do more advanced work so that they can move as rapidly as they are capable.
