Se6oC i4, 'P'lo e ‘Tftatd, IV Oxtct V MATH Miss Lott, who heads the Math Department, reads a letter from a former student re- emphasizing the need of the advanced math offered in her classes for college bound seniors. Math Club discussion leaders Cinger Parker, Judy Ragland, and B. L. Odum prepare for their topic on functions with long hours of research and study. Math IV, the study of advanced algebra and trigo- nometry, is essential in preparing the student for College Entrance Examinations and achievement tests. It is a very important course for students who plan to study mathematics in college. Math V includes the study of calculus and analytic geometry. This course develops the basic theory of cal- culus with a view that gives the students a sound under- standing of the fundamental concepts of calculus and a thorough appreciation of its many applied uses. In both Math IV and Math V the student receives college board material which aids him in preparing for his future in mathematics. Students in Math IV and Math V participate in many of the Math Club discussions. This participation gives them experience in speaking and allows them to increase their knowledge of a given subject. MISS BEULAH LOTT AB, Randolph Macon Woman's College; AM, Columbia University: Mathematics; Head of Math Department, Co-Sponsor of Math Club. Math V students Diana Singletary and Ronnie King focus their attention on the chart of limits, which is an important part ofathv advanced math program. •V 6- ir'.X 25

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
