Mauldin's math department offered an array of quality math courses to prepare students for the future. The math teachers felt that the school had a very strong math program. One of the strengths of the program was Computers taught by Mrs. Pat Krejci who said, Addin II Llp. Computers is a growing subject and students are just now understanding the importance of a good computer education. Students are realizing that it is important to receive a good math foundation, said Ms. Kay Autrey who believed that math courses not only helped give students a strong foundation for college, but also helped to prepare them for future careers.

ci nce - Subject Of Once in a while to break away from the monotonous classwork, teachers assigned lab projects. Science lab work combined fun and learning together. Biology, the study of living organisms, was taught by both Mrs. June Shealy and Mr. Mike Frye. One specific lab, taught by Mrs. Shealy, was observing different types of organisms. Students were expected to illustrate what they observed under the microscope. Nancy Schmid commented on the lab, It was fun and Mrs. Shealy showed a lot of concern toward her students. She made sure we understood what was going on by pointing out little things we probably wouldn't have noticed. Mr. L.J. Forrester, chemistry teacher, said he enjoyed working with students and considered chemistry to be a very entertaining subject to teach. When Miss Leigh Brittain, a promoter of the textile industry, visited Forrester's classes she came to encourage students to stear their The Discovery careers toward textiles. Miss Brittain performed a lab for each class. Two chemicals were combined to produce a synthetic thread. I thought the lab was very informative because it showed how synthetic fibers were first made, stated Linda Laycock. Physics, taught by Dr. Tom Nasser, was the science of matter and motion. Basic mechanics such as speed and velocity were first taught. Physics led deeper into the effects of energy and energy waves. One lab topic in the class was on surface tension. An example of surface tension was shown by a glass of water. It was filled to the very edge but it didn't spill over. This lab was done with various acids and powders. Students were required to write up a lab report based on their observations. One other type of science was physical science. This taught the very basics of chemistry and physics. Amy Coggins Does it measure up? This seems to bc thc question .lim Summers, Keith Johnson, and Tom Barilovits are asking themselves. Their classmates Geoff Glibbery, Russel Barber, and John Nations look on to observe what they're doing. iPhoto by Robert Frecmanj Hurry before the bell rings!
