MRS. C. W. POOLE B.S. Georgia Southern College General Math I, Q, Business Math MR. CARL STORY B. S., M.S. Auburn University, Georgia Southern, University of Georgia. Algebra, Plane Geometry, Trig- onometry. MISS KAY TAYLOR B. S., M. S. Georgia Southern Algebra, Business Math, Physical Science. Mathematics Department Mathematics Maketh a Man Subtile Francis Bacon Miss Taylor watches as a stu- dent works an algebra problem. Mr. Story illustrates the laws of geometry on the graph. 12 In the field of mathematics, students of TCHS learn that perserverance and logic are assets not only in solving problems, but in discerning the complexities of everyday situations. The fundamentals of arithmetic and basic business principles are mastered by students of general and business math. The instructors of algebra courses convey to their pupils an understanding of formulas and equations. The intricacies of plane figures occupy the minds of students of geometry, while those participating in trigonometry classes are in- volved in the more specialized study of tri- angles. Essential for future development in this modem age, math is an important part of Turner High's Curriculum. Mrs. Poole's class listens to the explanation of a problem.

MRS. C. D. KELLEY B.S. Georgia Southern College U.S. History, Government, Debate Team, Cheerleader Sponsor MISS DEL PYRON A.B. Women's College of Georgia World and American History Social Science Department Miss Pyron lectures to her American History class. Turner High’s social studies department of- fers personal benefits to each individual. Freshmen, entering the more advanced at- mosphere of high school are exposed to their first experience in taking notes from lectures in World Geography. Students of World His- tory connect the past with the present through the study of the progress of civilizations. An appreciation of their American heritage is in- stilled in Juniors as they share ideas in class discussions and research work in U.S. History. Economics furnishes an analytic study of fi- nancial conditions in the U.S. Upon the completion of American Government, Seniors are well-orientated in the functions of the government and are better prepared to meet their civic responsibilities. Through an understanding of ancient civili- zations and modern day situations, the social studies students of Turner County High are better qualified citizens of tomorrow. Seniors find Mrs. Kelley's Government tests challenging. Parents learn of their children’s progress in history from Miss Pyron. II

Science Department MRS. BENNETT PATE MR. TROY SOUTHERLAND B.S. B.S. G. S. C. W. University of Biology, Future Georgia. Teachers of Chemistry, America. Physical Science, Football, Track. MR. H. E. SIMS B. MS. M. Ed. A-6 Berry College, Mercer, University of Georgia. Principal, Physics, Hi-Y. The nature of the students of Turner Coun- ty High leads them to inquire and seek an- swers to the unknown. Science courses at T.C. H.S. foster the development of new ideas through research and experimentation. Physical Science gives freshmen a glimpse of fundamentals of science by lectures and laboratory experiments. Offered to the sopho- mores is Biology, which acquaints them with scientific tools such as the microscope and dissection instruments as they explore the wonders of life. More advanced science courses including physics and chemistry com- plete the science curriculum. Students re- ceive a foundation for college as they exper- iment with matter and motion in physics and analyze compounds in chemistry. In Turner County High's science depart- ment, the knowledge of the past plus the challenge of the future provide ample oppor- tunity for progress. Sophomore biology students learn the parts of the microscope. Mr. Southerland lectures to his physical science class. Mr. Sims works a physics prob- lem for his class. 13
