 Mr. Jones explaining an experiment to the Senior Physics Class. SCIENCE AND Mathematics, both of which are so important to our modern life, received a great deal of attention at Americus High School this year. The chemistry class was large, so it was necessary for Mr. Jones to use demonstrations. Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry were offered by Mr. Ed. Jones and General Science by Mr. Carl Heinrich. In The Classrooms Mr. Heinrich looks on as his Science Class proves that light runs in a straight line.
