Varying Departments Along with the task of teach- ing Health and Physical Educa- tion, Mr. Ritchie and Miss Dowdy also take on other duties. Besides being coaches, they teach drivers education in the classroom and behind the wheel. The Science Department is one that offers a varied degree of study for its students. One may choose only to take the basic subjects and not con- tinue his studies any further. But a student who wishes to advance has the advantage of the knowledge and the interest shown by the teachers of this department. MR.

Tenney R. WATSON DURHAM — A.B., William and Mary. Mr. R. Watson Durham, As- sistant Principal, begins his day meeting with Mr. Turner and students of various interests. His understanding nature and desire to keep our school united have served as a link between students and himself. Mr. Durham and Mr. Turner have worked together, each complementing the other, striving for the best for all. These attitudes have left a promising hope, that our stu- dents will leave here with a deep feeling of unity and working together. The Guidance Department is kept busy year round helping students. The new counselor, Mr. Stone, has helped the sophomores feel more at home at their new school. When jun- iors need help Mrs. Campbell is always there. Mrs. West with diligence and stern manner has helped many of the seniors reach their goal. McEwen MR. AUBREY STONE MRS.

The Audio-Visual Depart- ment now offers a program that allows students to use the audio-visual aids. A listening station and curriculum-ori- ented tapes are available in the library. Although teachers are using more aids, Mr. Cobb would like to see more student participation. The library continues to per- form its duties. Miss Gibbon and Mrs. Crenshaw are always cheerful and quick to recog- nize students. Students and teachers alike find Miss Gib- bon invaluable as she is always willing to stop her work to find information for them. The task of teaching math rests on the shoulders of four women. Despite their heavy work load these teachers are always willing to help students during or after class. An extra- curricular activity of the de- partment is the sending of stu- dents to the regional math contest at V.C.U. MRS. PHYLLIS ANDREWS B.S., Madison MRS, MARVINE TYLER B.A., Westhampton S.C.A.
