MRS. LOIS PEELE A.B. Meredith College French BELOW: This year our school has taken part in the North Carolina in-School Television Experiment. We hod two television classes — U. S. History and World History — mode up of juniors and seniors. The primary aims of the courses were to develop the will and ability to consider present-day problems in the light of the experience of the past; to develop a spirit of inquiry that will lead to the seeking of all available sources of information; and to acquire background for literature, art, music, travel, and intelligent conversation. The television teachers for the courses were Miss Lois Edinger and Mrs. Ruth George Dodson and the classroom teacher was Mrs. Alice Avery.
