With student, parent, and teacher help, students were givetT the chance to explore interest areas without the pressure ot a grade! Under the leadership ot Ms. Cordell the com¬ mittee offered the following: in- troclucfion to French, woodcrafts, history of sports, dance, Black his¬ tory, sewing, cooking and bridge to name only a few. 26 27 Mrs. Aclegbalola, Harry Tillman. 2nd row: Rodney Dixon, Albert Christian, Nancy Whitticar, Miss Bishop, Mrs. Copp. INDEPENDENT STUDY Independent Study is a new program at W-G. Designed to let se¬ lected students do independent work on or off campus, this program provided us with a chance to learn about subjects not offered in the regular classroom. Some student projects this year involved the Fred¬ ericksburg Geomagnetic Center, women in drama, gangsters of the 20 ' s, and comic art. Each student in the program, along with his teacher-advisor evaluated his own or her own study. CAREER EDUCATION COMMITTEE Students at W-G were lucky because we had a Career Education Com¬ mittee. Since this com¬ mittee of teachers, stu¬ dents, and parents was very active this year, stu¬ dents had the chance to learn about job opportu¬ nities and to plan for the future! 1st row: Mrs. Street, Mrs. Ramer, Mrs. Copp, Mrs. Myers, Terry Duggins, |ody Spiller, Mr. Anderson, Sheila Truslow, Mr. lones.
