Science CHallenge Science courses at B.H.S. prove to be a real challenge to the students. General science courses for the eighth and ninth graders introduce them to each of the sciences of our space age. Interrelationships between various living or- ganisms and the enviroment around them are taught to the Biology students. They study plants and animals through the use of charts, microscopes, and dissections. Advanced science offers the tenth graders a year of study in such fields as astronomy, chemistry, and physics. Chemistry covers completely the study of ele- ments, compounds, and mixtures. Knowledge of symbols, valences, and charges of the elements established a firm basis for learning how they react and what particular compound they form. Physics is the study of matter and how it effects man. In the classroom and in the laboratory physics involves the study of principles and the working of problems in relation to these principles. Mr. Bell sets up Chemistry problem for George Smith, Mary Kidd, and Bobby Scott Coleman. Mr. Rhoton performs minor surgery while Jack Green and Charles Lewis look on. m 1 1 1 a 1 vt . • l i r; 1

l aaBsaSa aaiiwsi rassasaBK ' ll ■■■■■ ■■■■■ Maffi Audi Numbers face us everywhere from the time on a watch to the dial on the phone. All math, however, is not simple as students in the B.H.S. math program discover daily. General math gives students basic mathematic skills which they will need as future homemakers and busi- nessmen. Signed numbers, unknowns, and graphs help confuse the first-year algebra student, while the second- year student spends many hours at- tempting to untangle quadratic equa- tions, logarithms, and exponents. Geometry emphasizes logical thinking and orderly arrangement of ideas. A combined study of plane and solid geometry aids the student in de- ductive reasoning, geometric proof, and both plane and dimensional figures. Advanced math introduces the student to many of the new mathe- matical concepts. Venn diagrams, number systems, graphs, and trig- ometric formulas prove both in- teresting and perplexing to college- bound seniors. Miss Lashley explains graph of inequalities to Senior Math class. Mrs. Smithson looks on as John Hawthorne works Algebra equation.

Band And Qlee CluS Present Music Appreciation now supplements Band in the music curriculum at B.H.S. The class meets three days a week to study topics including folk music, opera, classical compositions, and famous composers. During the study of musical comedy, they attended the Virginia Museum ' s presentation of THE KING AND I. On the re- maining two days the class and interested girls from study hall met to form the B.H.S. Glee Club. Band activities are both many and varied this year. Fifty-nine members enjoyed trips, playing at football games, and several concerts. Details are given on pages 76 and 77. Also a special dance band was organized. Brunswick High School Dance Band
