In our complex traffic society, people must be taught safe habits and practices. Through the drivers training program, students learn self-discipline, self-guidance, and self-protection. They develop social-consciousness and concern for the rights and safety of others.

Provides Relaxation And Exercise The main purpose of physical education is to set up a well-rounded curriculum so that students may be better developed physically. Coach Buzzard says, We believe that if a student is physically fit, it will help him mentally also.” Students obtain a better understanding of sports and healthful activities, with carry-over values that can be used throughout their lives. Our P.E. classes play basketball, volleyball, and softball, along with other types of physical activities. Boys' classes play touch football a lot. The freshmen boys go through one of their regular calisthenic routines. MAX BUZZARD B.A. Coach, P.E., Hygiene PHIL RATLIFF FEED STORE BURR MOTOR COMPANY, Neosho

Social Studies Acquaint Individual For Competent And Intelligent Living i The story of man on earth includes his efforts to adapt himself to climate, topography, resources; and his struggle toward a clearer spiritual understanding, a higher culture, and a more democratic way of life. The social classes of our school tell this story and foster the habit of critical thinking by our students. By studying citizenship, world history, world geography, American history, and American problems, boys and girls are furnished a technique which they can use in the solving of their problems at home, at school, and elsewhere. They are also provided with a vocabulary and an understanding so that as they move to wider circles and distant horizons they may be successful and happy. Mr. Laird instructs the sophomores in world history.
