Mrs. Fowler observes an experiment as performed by Brenda Durham in physical science class. Mr. Williams cleans out the school furnace. Bent over microscopes, students silently examine samples of spirogyra, desmids, and diatoms. Raising his hand, a boy asks, Do diatoms live in any water? This is the inquisitive attitude encouraged by science teachers at Albemarle High. Courses available in the scientific field are: eighth grade science, physical sci- ence, biology, chemistry, and physics. Through eighth grade science, boys and irls leam fundamentals cov- ering many scientific suiiects. The physical science courses deal with the natural laws other than those of living substances. Biology teachers give students an understanding of the science of living matter in all its forms. In chemistry class, Patriots investigate the composition of the elements of matter. Students in physics obtain information on the natural laws and processes outside those restricted to biology and chemistry. Due to the endeavors of the science de- partment, Albemarle students are well ready for the life in this progressive age. MRS. DOROTHY W. ATKINS B.S.g M.Ed. Physical Science MRS. DALE B.

How well prepared are Albemarle Patriots for the responsibilities of citizenship in today's advanced socie- ty? The principles, physical features, and history of the United States and its relations with other nations form the general basis of the social study courses at Albe- marle High. Eighth graders learn the physical setting, the products, and the customs of their country and the rest of the world. While taking world history, students are able to compare the development of the United States to that of other countries. Students of United States History apply themselves to the study of the people and events that shaped their nation. Teachers of civics stress the rights and duties of citizenship. In economics class, students examine the way people use their resources to satisfy their needs. Covemment teach- ers provide information to seniors as to the structure of American democracy on the national, state, and local level, Through the efforts of the social studies teachers at Albemarle High, Patriots obtain a sound foundation of knowledge of all aspects of the United States.

What courses does the math department at Albemarle 5 High include? Many studies, ranging from fundamental ma thematics to advanced classes are taught They ares eighth grade math, general math, plane geometry, algebra I and II, it advanced algebra, and solid geometry and trigonometry. As eighth graders, students receive general instruction in many 'Q phases of math. In general math, students also obtain A1 varietv A I5 of mathematical skills. Plane geometry deals with the pro- I perties of figures lying in a single plane. YVhile taking alge- bra I, boys and girls learn the basic reasoning of the system of symbol relationships. In algebra II, students leam more complicated systems of relationship. The course of advanced algebra is the further development of algebraic ability. Through solid geometry and trigonometry, pupils deduce the properties of three-dimensional figures. Today's world of auto. mation requires many young people who are adept at mathe- matical processes. Faculty memhers of the math department adequately condition their students for this task. Mrs. Lyons dishes out Iell-o for the cafeteria lunches.
