Self learning and self dependence are necessary for proper intellectual growth The 7-3's enjoy science, especially the demon- stration of the uses of electro-magnets. We love to learn what makes things go. New things are always interesting to us. Some of us are very keen in science and work out very interesting problems. The 7-5's study words in spelling. They learn how the word is spelled, pronounced, and what it means. Jane Montgomery is marking and dividing up the words of the lesson to show how the word is pro- nounced. In Tennessee history Sara Shaw points out to the 7-8's where the early settlers of Tennessee entered through the Cumberland Gap into what is now Tennessee. Sara explains the importance of the riv- ers of east Tennessee in the early settlement of the state. Rivers were the only way of transportation and early settlements were made at convenient points. The 7-1's have really worked on their' study of Latin America. Maps have been made and studied. Products made in the Latin American countries were brought and examined. However, the names of persons and places have been difficult, as we know nothing about the Spanish language. , ' 1 '

In the Seventh Grade we begin learning as individuals The essentials of leadership are considered in English by the 7-3's. The meanings of words ex- pressing the qualities of leadership are studied. From this study we get the proper expression of ideas and opinions. On the first row are Elaine Futris, Gregg Grinspan, and Joe Gaston. On the top row are Ann Handy, Roy Howell, Judy Gore, Bob- by Gammel, and Phyllis Halford. Susie Diamond and Betty Crawford are explain- ing their problems in percentage to the other 7-2's. They realize the importance of percentage because it is so often used in newspapers and reports. These 7-llfs have finished their border designs which can be used for decoration. Bill Tatum, Charles Jordon, Wanda Hatch, Ray Kahn, Carolyn Kidd, and Carolyn Knauer are putting their designs on display. 28 In 7-6 music classes singing is learned. Our voices are tried and we are placed in the proper group. This is when our vocal training really begins. The seventh grade class seems to enjoy their work. But who wouldn't enjoy good singing? .lolynn Richard- son is leading her group in a practice session.
