Mrs. Mary Greenhill, Mr. Cecil Gamble, Mrs. Loraine Gillen, Mr. Raymond Poole, Miss Roberta Brown SOCIAL STUDIES Here, folks, is the realm of social studies. It is here that we are introduced to the functions of our government, the histories of thriving and decadent societies, the economics of a nation and of an individual, and the importance of realizing the worth of our fellow men. We learn that by fulfilling the duties of a student, we are really fulfilling the duties of a citizen. Christmas is celebrated in as many different ways as there are Christian countries in the world. Mrs. Licastrds students re-create artistically Christmas in other lands. Peasly, Scheibner, Bates, Wykofi, Culver, Fessenden, Welsh

C 0 U N S E L O R Mr. Albert R. Skelton During the school year when problems arose that we could not have solved alone, we went to our principal, Mr. Skelton. He was never too busy to smooth out diffi- culties for us or to give us favorable advice in an informal, friendly manner. As director of the Senior Play, his help was invaluable. In addition to his many administrative responsibilities, he worked long hours with the cast. During every day of the school year 1955-56 he worked efficiently and expertly with students and teachers. On the day I, Alli Gator, was scheduled for my vocational interview with Mr. Watkins, I approached the office with only a vague notion of my future plans. I was greeted by the office girl who took me immediately to Mr. Watkins. After he listened to my ideas of the vocation I wanted to follow, we discussed its advantages and its disadvantages. He assured me that my training and ability would enable me to follow my chosen vocation and gave me informative literature concerning that particular vocation. When I walked out of the Guidance Office that day, I knew that my future-and the future of many students-had been decided in the office of our Guidance Counsel- lor, Mr. Watkins. Mr. Forrest W. Watkins

This room is used for general science, physics and chemistry. I , The sciences are really wonderful subjects. I was rather discouraged last year when I spilled the hydrogen sulphide and smelled like rotten eggs the next few days. But I quickly changed my mind as I was continually introduced to fascinating new materials. The work with the very active metals sodium and potassium, the making of poisonous gases from their chemical compounds, and the splitting of the atom occupied my complete attention. I was also stirred by the secrets of mathematics. This year I studied trig and solid from Mr. Bates. When I walked into trig class and Mr. Bates talked about logs, sines and tangents, I was worried. But after the first few weeks I solved the mysteries and began to enjoy these absorbing courses. I I have to admit that math and science are interesting as well as useful.
