MISS MARGARET BROWN A. B., Elon Biology Advisor - Bible MISS KATHERINE NEWLIN B. S. H. E., UNC-G Physical Science MRS. MARTHA SEXTON A. B., Elon Chemistry, Physical Science Science offered challenge to explore the unknown The field of science occupied a significant place in the curricu¬ lum of Southern High School. It prepared the students for the fast- moving, modern world in which we live. One of the most important methods of teaching used in this field was experimentation. The students gained knowledge by ob¬ serving and testing new ways of doing things. Southern offered two sets of courses in the field of science. One set for college preparatory students included chemistry, phy¬ sics, college preparatory biology and physical science. The other set which included regular physi¬ cal science and biology was for non-college preparatory students. MR. HENRY FOGLEMAN A. B., Elon Biology MR. ROBERT STOCKARD A.

Students pursued new ideas in fields of Math Several changes have taken place in the courses offered in the field of mathematics this year. For the first time the concepts of modern mathematics have been introduced at Southern High School. Modern mathematics is a logical method of solving prob¬ lems. It shows reasons for every¬ thing done. Only the students tak¬ ing Algebra I were taught modern mathematics this year. In years to come, however, modern mathe¬ matics will work its way into all of the mathematics courses. Since two units of mathematics are required for graduation, South¬ ern offered two sets of mathematic courses. One set was for college preparatory students and the other was for students who did not plan to attend college. MRS. CHRISTINE WOODY A. B., Elon Algebra, Business Math Advisor - Student Council MRS.

Students gained experience in home life The home economics department at Southern High School offered an opportunity for girls to prepare for their future lives as homemakers. Approximately two hundred anc} fifty girls from all four grades took advantage of this opportun¬ ity this year. Just by entering a home economics room, a person may see some of the accomplishments made by these students. Being greeted by tanta¬ lizing aromas, a person may see a table spread with tempting foods. At another time a person may see a fashion show as the students model their newly made garments. After having completed this course, a stu¬ dent has studied many varied aspects of home economics. She has acquired skills in wardrobe and budget planning, nutrition and childcare, and home management. MRS. ALLUWEE STEPHENS B. S. H. E., UNC-G Home Economics Advisor - FHA MRS. WILLIE CURRIN A. B.
