Physical Science Were Offered to Students Both biological and physical science courses were offered by the Science De- partment. Physical sciences included classes in physics, chemistry, physical science and earth science. Biological courses offered were fully laboratory oriented. One or two labs per week were generally administered. Aprons and goggles were worn by chemistry stu- dents during labs. Advanced students were offered a College Level Chemistry course. Five stu- dents from Rincon High School also at- tended these classes. College credit was given upon successful completion of this course and passing of the advance place- ment examination. Students were urged to select at least one course from the biological area and one from the physical science area in completing the graduation requirement of two years of science. Biology classes spent much time throughout the year conducting experiments. Students Jim Lassiter, Tom JOSEPH HAMRICK PAUL W. WALTER A. RALPH E. WILLIAM KELLIS Biology HATCHER HOLLIDAY JR.
