I 1 sw J W fa Qasa- We Although at first confused by bewildering scientific terms, sinister-looking instruments, and complicated calculations, science students soon overcame the con- fusion for a better understanding of this new world. In general science, students established a basic founda- tion by becoming acquainted with scientific apparatus and terminology. The more specialized Biology classes spent a semester in botany studying algae, fungi, mono- cots, diocots, and spermatophytesg in Zoology they tackled one-celled animals, mollusks, amphibians, and finally vertebrates. Chemistry and senior science students experimented in the laboratory with its shelve of odd-shaped bottles, strange smells, and brilliant colors. For physics stu- dents, it was necessary to learn the principles under- lying pulleys, rotating wheels, levers, and complex machines. When they visited the Tennessee Pulp and Paper Co. at Counce, they saw these principles put to practical use. JAMES WRIGHT, HARMON MCGILL, and RONALD HAMM D .

With infinite patience, MR. CLESTON SCRUGGS explained some of the difficulties of Algebra to RONNIE HARVEY and JOAN GRIS- HAM. To keep pace with the ever increasing impor- tance of mathematics, IHS provided facilities for an increasing number of math students. Entering freshmen could choose between Gen- eral Math and Algebra I, a grown-up-sounding course which to their amazement used letters for numbers. By the time they had finished Algebra II, they were old hands at solving x and y, factoring, and working quadratic equa- tions. Plane and solid Geometry students soon became familiar with protractor and compass as they proved triangles congruent. moffemafzcs C5ak12ye0fsfz10Q12f5 fo ...nf Y A Work was always more pleasant when you had a friendly teacher like MR. HOLLY to soften the hard problems of Algebra I.
