Peace-Dream or Reality? Social Sciences Envision International Accord Cultivate peace and harmony with all. This simple sentence from George Washington's Farewell Address has echoed in the hearts of his fellow Americans. Today the search for lasting peace and harmony remains the dream of the world. In the United States, under the guidance of elected leaders, all citizens directly or indirectly try to make this dream a reality. Social Studies classes at Valdosta High School en- deavor to strengthen this hope for peace by educa- ting students in the fundamentals of their govern- ment. World history and Bible courses give a broad view of man's search for humanitarian values. United States history and government provide a near view of the problems that have confronted this country. And economics with sociology teach practicality in every- day living. As Mrs. Holly Howell expounds on the history of ancient civilizations, sophomores Charles Dennis, Jody Slocum, Fred Bennett, Charles Joiner, and Linda Peace listen attentively. 24

P.E. Activities With typical enthusiasm, Mrs. Herman Johnson briefs her girls before a volleyball match. Mary Pate and Cecelia Carswell romp through a lively song and dance routine. Coordination of body . . . rhythm in motion . . . knowledge of sports . . . development of physical skills ... all these factors receive emphasis in the VHS physical education program. Through calisthenics, dancing, tumbling, and games, boys and girls learn the decisive but easy movements characteristic of good physical coordination. Sports which change with the seasonal cycle of national games are played at VHS. Girls play tennis and volleyball, soccer and speedball, basketball and fundamental golf as well as the less active game- horseshoes. Boys engage in such sports as football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, and track. MRS. HERMAN JOHNSON A.B., Valdosta State College; M.A., University of Georgia, physical education.
