MISS BAILEY GUIDES , DIRECTS Miss Bailey, guidance counselor, advises prospective college students Nancy Powell, Brenda Rayhorn, and Annette Maddra. SENIORS The seniors are spot-lighted now in our camera, and we find that they are ready for what- ever lies ahead in life. They have been well prepared for the roles they are to play in our world. These outstanding students accomplished this with much hard work and effort. Many changes have taken place in the curriculum in keeping with the demands of a fast moving, scientific society. Now seniors have the advantages of a more modern and well-equipped physics and chemistry laboratory, audio visual aids, and interesting projects to render teach- ing more effective. Under able guidance the industrial arts course is gaining prominence. These boys are be- ing prepared to take on jobs which require skilled labor. In this mechanized age the students must have training, and they receive the very best at Petersburg High School. When the seniors are graduated, Petersburg High School can be proud that these citizens of Virginia are prepared to take their place in working America. thirteen
