Language originally signified only the expression of thoucght by spoken words, it has now acquire the broader interpre- tation of the expression of thought by any means. Eng ish classes focus on the study of the meaning, capacity, and power of the English language. Each class studies a different means of the ex- pression of thou ht. In ninth rage, the famous play Romeo and uliet is studied as well as grammar. Tenth grade opens yet an- other interpretation of our language with m thology. Such novels as T e Scarlet lljetter, Billy Budd, and Of Mice and Men are read and carefully scruti- nized by the junior classes. Literature is not the only area of concentration, how- ever, creative writing is also explored. Seniors go on to read Hard Times, Wuthering Heights, Macbeth, and Beowulf, and also write term papers. Progressing through high schoo brings increasingly difficult courses and, now and then, a teacher who insists on push- ing- students hard. he firm teachers' goal is to drive students to be the best that they can be. Mrs. Byers, for example, stated, I really enjoy teaching. It's fascinating to be able to Watch kids change and grow. lissa Hassig Mrs. Pam Brawley English Mrs. Grace Byers Mrs. Land and Kim lordan disc uss assignments during a L lass change 126 X Academics

Social studies is a part of a high school or college curriculum concerne with the study of social relationships and the functions of society. Social studies classes are very active classes. The teachers provide several olp- portunities for the students to actua y view and participate in many related events outside of school. North Carolina Close-ug is a program that takes place in May an enables Advanced U.S. istory students to view state g-pvernment close-up in Raleigh. The istory Club took a trip to Wi liamsburg the first weekend in May. Speakers visited classes and students took art in a Con- stitutional Bicentennial Ceqebration and performed in glays. Classes such as ociology and ocial Problems did in- depth studies of problems faced by today's teens such as drucgs, teenage pregnancy, child abuse, an more. As a earning project, Psychology classes learned to do something like play guitar, cross stitch, martial arts, etc. Economic classes visited the Federal Reserve Bank in Charlotte. All of those projects provided oppor- tunities for students to experience the ac- tual situation and are a refreshing change from regular classwork.
