tronics equipment. David Whitlow and Terry elec- =e Interested in science? BHS has an accelerated pro- gram. Eighth grade teachers recommend their better pupils for the accelerated classes. After obtaining a letter of approval from their parents, the students be- gin a four-year study of science. Students study biology ‘in their freshman year. In their sophomore year they study chemistry. In their junior year they study physics. The courses are all similar to the regular classes except that the students take them a year earlier. In their sen- ior year, students in the program take one semester of advanced biology and one semester of advanced chem- istry. The two courses are direct preparation for college work. They review the original biology and chemistry courses and supplement them with additional college textbooks. MR. WILLIAM MILNE, Biology, Earth Science MR. FLOYD SHEALY, Science, Chemistry

The words would not make much sense to math stu- dents, but the symbols the words represent would be un- derstood. The mathematics program at BHS is planned to meet three requirements: graduation from high school, entrance to college, and advance placement in college. The program also tries to teach students to think analytically and to be able to use the necessary math in life. MISS DOROTHY RUCKER, Department Head, Algebra MISS AVIS RECTOR, Geometry, Algebra 30
