MRS. H. E. SIMS B. S. Home Ec. Berry College Home Economics Future Homemakers of America Four years of Home Economics are offered at Turner County High School. Each of these courses fea- tures instruction in foods, clothing, and child care, all of which are necessary for efficient wives and mothers of the future. In home projects, such as crea- tive decorating, home management, and care of smaller children, each student is encouraged to accept re- sponsibilities at home. Better meth- ods of cooking and sewing, and ef- fective home economy are taught through class lectures, demonstra- tions, and personal projects. By taking homemaking, the stu- dent of today is better prepared to be the homemaker of tomorrow.

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
