Library Not only is our library a valuable aid in the academic phase of our school life, but also is a place to relax dur- ing our leisure time and to read books and magazines. Many hours are spent by the librarians and their staff in making our school program more interesting and eventful. This year we were privileged to participate in the traveling library program of the National Science Foun- dation in which we receive fifty outstanding books every two months. Louise Snipes wonders if she will ever finish checking books. It's always a busy day in the library when an English class is there. Homemaking We girls have learned more than how to follow a recipe or hem a dress in this course. In addition to learning the secret of selecting foods that are not only pleasing but also nutritious and economical, we have also learned how to make and buy our own clothes. Homemaking gives us a foundation on which we can better build our future homes. What wonderful treat is in store for some lucky home ec class. “Gee, I hope I get this dress done in time for the dance,” says Mary Sue Spikard to Shirley Walker. Some of the finer points of cooking are explained to a class.

Members of the Physics class watch the waves on the rippling tank. Science Young scientists of WHHS get a very comprehensive sur- vey of science. We also learn practical things which will be valuable, whether we plan to continue in this field or wish to be intelligent citizens of this scientific world. This year we have been fortunate to have two modern courses: Biology on TV is sponsored by the Ford Founda- tion and Physics, written at M.I.T., is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Shirly Williams and Carolyn Redd admire the beautiful color of their solution. Mathematics Mathematics has provided us with many experiences, some which will live on and some which are forgotten. This sub- ject is becoming more and more important in today’s world and we are very proud of our math program. Algebra I and II, Geometry. Business Math, Functional Math. Senior Math, Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry are the various courses offered by this department. Bettie Sue Erwin and Missy Johnson show the class two ways of working a geometry problem. Mr. Young explains to the class Variations, an important topic in Algebra II.

Art In art we have learned to express ourselves in pic- tures through color, form, space, texture, and lines. Art has helped us to develop an esthetic sense so that we can appreciate art. A few of us have found a secret talent in this field and are making it our career. Elinor Dobson just knows that this poster will win first prize. Another Mona Lisa in the making, eh, Jackie. Music Do, re, mi. fa. so. la, ti. do. Practicing our scales is only a prelude to the magnificent pieces we present in concert. In band we also learn to march, adding to the enjoyment of parades and football games. More im- portant, we have learned the value of work and co- operation with others. Mr. Connor briefs the chorus before an assembly. Daily practice has helped to make our band one of Florida’s finest. Practice makes perfect; we are going to have a perfect majorette corps.
