He was awarded an A.B, and B.S. from SMS, an M,S. from Cornell University, and a Ph.D. from New York University. science and mathematics Electricity is playing an ever increasing role in our lives today. Dr. Henderson is explaining the operation of a voltmeter which measures volts, ohms, and amperes to Physics students Linda Hall and Ken Walter. the governing laws of nature The sun and its influence upon the earth is only part of the valuable study presented in General Science. Summer students Karen Klann, Jeanne Simpson, and Anne Williams are learning about this relationship by means of a globe and a lamp. Science is more than a knowl- edge ot the formulated laws of nature. With this in mind, the Sci- ence Department at Greenwood, supervised by Dr. Henderson, intro- duces the more practical aspects of science in coniunction with the theo- retical side. Seventh Grade Science, General Science, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry are offered. Physics and Chemistry alternate every year and are open to Juniors ancl Seniors only. While only one science credit is needed to graduate, many students schedule for all of these interesting courses.

Mr. Bush and his algebraic fractions puzzle Emmy Potter and Gary Lunsford in Advanced Algebra. and their practical application In order to comprehend high school science, a thorough understanding of mathematics must have been acquired. lt is under the supervision of Mr. Bush that we get this background. Mr. Bush, returned from a year's leave of absence, teaches basic mathematics, plane geometry, and beginning and ad- vanced algebra. Solid geometry and trigonometry are alternated yearly with advanced algebra. Math students learn how to apply their basic mathematics and algebra to everyday, practical needs. Another ad- vantage of mathematics often overlooked is its ability to teach clear and organized thinking. WM. JACK BUSH, Supervisor of Mathematics, ob- tained his B.S. from Arkansas A8tM College and his M.S. from Arkansas University.
