OCIAL STUDIE In our modern world, history plays an important role in promoting cit- izenship. Thrilling events from the pages of the past were' relived as students studied such topics as the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, and World War II. A part of each day, however, was devoted to the study of current events, so that Treadwell students would be well informed as to the problems of our time.

MATHE AT ICS PLANE GEOMETRY In the field of mathematics stu- dents found an outlet for- their rea- soning power and initiative. Neatness and accuracy are two musts of the math student.

PHYSICS Treadwell Seniors were given an opportunity to participate in the revolutionary physics course prepared by the Physical Science Study Committee. In the new course use was made of text books, motion picture films, and numerous monographs. An effort was made to stimulate creative ability rather than rote learning. This course was offered in only five schools in the United States in 1957-58, but in 1958-59 it was offered in two hundred eighty schools. Treadwell and Oak Ridge were the only two in Tennessee offering the course. li, 'E X B, ffp l ff With the help of Mrs. James, Annette Gordon,l' Bonnie Taylor, .lohn Can- trell, Larry Hayes and Joy 1 T' Nancy Hannings, .loy Lott, June Bryan, and Joe Mor- ton expcriment with waves in a ripple tank as Mr. Hoffart, a visitation repre- sentative ol the Physical ' Science Study Committee, from Watertown, Massachu- setts, and Mr. Rcding, teacher of the physics class, watch with approval.
