'?fatevie4- JftefAtesUe SCIENCE knowledge of human anatomy and the various organ- isms which supplement each other. To give an under- standing of our environment, physical science is of- fered to the upperclassmen. Problems concerning time, movement, and friction are among the many which test the minds of physics students. The forces which affect us and control the earth are studied and analyzed. Actual application of these forces is made available during physics labora- tory, where students apply their knowledge to the ex- periments presented. Lab assistant Tommy Perse ? shows Biology student Dorothy Malone the proper way to adjust slides containing algae under the high power microscope. Left: Physics students Mike Malone. Linda Brown, and Gene Kane use their creative talents in constructing simple machines consisting of pulleys used for class study. Science Department members Mr. Harber and Mr. Hinson measure the radius of a string used in calculating centripetal force for their outdoor lab classes. MR. HUBERT E.

Reveal Biology students learn to locate such hidden parts as the spleen of frogs in their study of dissection. The mysteries of life are unveiled to Glynn Academy sophomores through General Riology, a required credit for all students. The fascination of the science of life and the structure of living matter creates scientific in- terest. and those who study biology gain an under- standing of the principles of the animate world and the relationships within it. Human Riology deals with the human body and its functions. This course, which is adapted to the needs of high school students, builds a foundation for medical and laboratory training. Health standards in nutrition, hygiene, and exercise are emphasized along with the Biology teachers Mr. Horton, Mrs. Scarboro, Mrs. Wright, and Mrs. Lane observe marine life in a balanced aquarium.

Extraction of ergosterol from fungi requires the time and patience of Chemistry II student Cheri Harben, who prepares her Science Fair project for competition. Lab partners Jimmy Hood and Diane Evans test for sodium chloride in one of their weekly Chemistry experiments. II Stne44e6 In classroom preparation and laboratory work, Chemistry I explains the physical composition of matter and requires application of the principles learned. Both experimentation and elementary research help to make the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry more clearly understood. Chemistry II. organic chemistry, supplements first year studies of laws and theories and offers greater opportunity for research and experience in the use of specialized equipment. MR. HERBERT M. HANDLEY BS, Florence State College: MS, Uni- versity of Georgia; Chemistry I and II; Glynn County Science Co-ordinator, Science Club Co-Sponsor. MR. HENRY CARROLL HERREN MA. George Peabody College; Biology, Chemistry I. Good laboratory technique is essen- tial to Chemistry students of Mr. Her- ren and Mr. Handley, who show the proper way to assemble apparatus. 24
