Students at Brookville this year were benefited in the Science Department with better laboratory equipment and improved safety procedures. During the summer Miss Daniel attended the Science Institute held at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College under the N.D.E.A. Program. In October Mr. McBride and Mr. Lewis attended a state-wide science meeting at Virginia Beach. There new concepts and different techniques in the teaching of science were demonstrated. I'he Science Department also cooperated with Lynch- burg College in its Student-Teaching Program. Both Mr. McBride and Miss Daniel served as Cooperating Super- visors in this program.

Mathematics Provides A Realistic Insight In the Mathematics Department this year, the emphasis was on learning. Ways were ex- plored to teach students faster and make the learning process simpler. A major change initiated this year was the reversal of the Geometry and Algebra II courses. This was done to help eliminate the need for an Al- gebra review at the beginning of the advan- ced Math course taken by seniors. The result was several classes containing both sopho- mores and juniors. Rebecca R. Pennington B.A., William and Mary “ - A; College, University of change.

Another important event was the addi- tion of several new teachers, who helped to maintain the high educational standards which have always been outstanding at this Mildred L. Travis school.
