BJ Mr. Larry Chambless explains to his physics class the ways to determine the acceleration of gravity. CJ Instead of studying, Vickie Akins and Sandy Ellis use their study hall to discuss social activities. Science Students Active Physics students did experi- ments, one which included drop- ping a weight off the roof of the gym to find the acceleration of gravity. Biology students took field trips collecting leaves and seeds. They also dissected pigs, worms, and crawfish. Physical science classes spent most of their time computing the mechanical advantage and effi- ciency of simple machines. Research Found Ees Research can be handled easily in the library because of the wide variety of encyclopedias. English students enjoyed the many short story and poetry books also . Since study hall was held in the library, students had plenty of time to look at magazines and newspaper and to read books.

Teachers Enliven Math To go or not to go to college is a choice students had to make between two paths in Math. Those not going to college took Related Math I and II and Con- sumers Math, taught by Mr. H. L. Parks and Coach Bill Hunter. The other path, usually for students going to college, con- sisted of more difficult courses, such as Algebra I and II, Geome- try, Trigonometry and Analysis. Mr. Carter Elliott often refer- red to one of his more difficult problems as chi1d's play, but only a small per cent of the stu- dent body made it through the advanced courses. 26 BA

This Une Sta s Put A brick veneer house with white trim was the main project chosen by Tommy Davis and his 28 students. Instead of the usual frame house to be moved, this year's class built a permanent house on Stadium Drive. Mr. Davis and his students constructed the house them- selves. The house was sold to the highest bidder, and the money went to the school. During each three-hour class, students learned carpentry, elec- trical wiring and plumbing. The students received three credits. ,,.-f J. f' - AJ Doug Taylor enjoys nailing up sheet- rock to pass the time.
