VARIETY OF COURSES PRODUCES Miss Emma Gallimore B.A.: Radford College Algebra; Mathematics Mrs. Billie Sue Goodman B.S.: Appalachian State University Mathematics Mrs. Linda Kidd A. S.: Bluefield College B. S.: Radford College Mathematics Mrs. Loftus grades geometry test papers. With emphasis on improving instruction, the Mathematics Department endeavored to impart a genuine understanding of math to the student. Members of the department attended meetings on the state level and prepared a report based on a study of their needs for the planning Committee for the Comprehensive high school. From the fundamentals of math to the most advanced teachings, both practical and abstract applications were learned. Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced math became tools of the mind. An increase in the number of students enrolled in the higher courses speaks well for the Mathematics Department. .Mrs. Hotz watches for reactions as she explains graphing quadratic equations. 26

INTEREST IN WORLD AFFAIRS Mrs. Doris T. Dula A.B.; West Virginia University B.A.; Radford College University of Virginia History Mr. Andrew J. Kuhaida, Jr. B.S.: University of Tennessee East Tennessee State University World Geography Mr. Harold S. Lambert B.A.: Emory Henry M.S.: Radford College World Geography; Physical Education The world became our textbook, and events, past and present, were our topics for discussion. Social studies was the name given to these courses, and the instructors of this de- partment endeavored to create an atmosphere of pleasant learning. Known by many different titles, we attained mastery of such subjects as: World Geography, American History, U. S. History, and United States Government. Imaginations were challenged and knowledge gained as we searched our texts. Juniors were privileged to see their government in action as they journeyed to Boys’ and Girls’ State, and Seniors par- ticipated in local government by holding public office during Youth Day. From these studies we developed those traits necessary for intelligent involvement in civic affairs. Coach Lambert talks with a student about last night’s basketball game. Mr. Richards and his class get in a heated discussion over foreign policies.
