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.

.' is Mr. Robert Angley Algebra!Trig. Mathematics is the study of number, form, arrangement, and asso- ciated relationships us- ing accurately defined literal, numerical and operational symbols. Teachers assist students in developing mathemat- ical skills to the utmost of their capabilities. Math department members attended the state Math Conference in Winston-Salem as well as other workshops and lectures to im- prove their teaching methods and curri- culum development. Competition is a fun way to practice math skills. Selected students participate in math contests at area colleges such as Pfeiffer, UNC-C, and Catawba. At Christmas, classes make geometric solids for the Geome - tree. In the spring, they make booklets and posters of Geometric Constructions. College preparatory classes make projects for the annual Science and Math Fair. Alissa Hassig Mrs. Ava Are Geometry!Algeb,ra P if fti p Sb. tii- f E ,. 5 It -2 ,gil . , V i 4' I T , f X ff . .
