State Mr. James Teachey B.S., N.C. State Vocational education is one of the largest departments at Southern. These vocations include home econ omics, agriculture, distributive education, and industrial cooperative training. In home economics, our girls learn the basics of cooking, sewing, and other things which help them to become good home- makers in the future. A study of agriculture teaches our boys about farming, build- ing techniques, using tools, and a score of things which can prove helpful in the future. OurD.E. and I. C.T. students are taught the mechanics of the business world. Then, they put to work what they have learned by securing a full or part-time job during the school year. Through the guidance of our teachers in the vocational edu- cation department, our students gain knowledge and experience which will be helpful throughout their lives. Mr. Alton Wilson B.S., N.C.

Mrs. Dolly Shaw A.B. Elon m C S C Two forms of music are taught at Southern: Glee Club and Band. Through participating in either of these courses a student gains a greater appreciation for different kinds of music. TheGleeClub gives two concerts each year, one in the winter and one in the spring. Small groups from the glee club sing at school functions and different civic clubs. Often the Southern Belles and Southern Sons perform when a small group is needed. The Band, like the glee club, gives two concerts a year. In addition to these, the band marches in several parades during the year and provides music for many of our school assembly pro- grams. Through the guidance of Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Burns, many students have experienced the pleasure that comes through studying music. Mr. James Burns, Jr. B.S. East Carolina
