SCIENCE The science courses include biology, advanced biology, chemistry, physics, and physical science. Any scientific interests a student might have are touched on in these areas. The curriculum spans from the study of living things and the functions of the human body in biology to the study of organic compounds and plastics in chemis- try. In chemistry, the student learns the structure and reactions of a variety of matter, while physics is designed for the student interested in engineering. Mrs. Theresa Tayloe, Biology, and Physical Science, and Miss Ethelyn Gaskin, Biology, are examining some of the new equipment in the science Mr. Hiram Settle, Chemistry, and Mrs. Shirley laboratory. Davis, Chemistry and Physical Science, are experi- menting with a solution to see if it is the one they can USE. Mrs. Mozelle Smith, Biology and Advanced Biology, is pointing out the internal parts of the frog to one of her classes. 130

A DRIVER EDUCATIO HANOVER COUNTY SCHOOLS Mr. Jim Hebbe, United States History and Driver Education, ca i ea oe prepares to take two driver education students for their day’s Sis ne driving. Mr. Vernon Hoyle, Humanities, English, and World History, talks with Jody Wrenn about a project she plans to do. Mr. Joel Cleland, English and Humanities, smiles as he reflects over the events of the day. The study of humanities tries to teach students to develop human relationships, to maintain an open mind, and to respect the rights of others. Students have an op- portunity to look at themselves and to point out individual opinions and skills in small group discussions. Integrating English, his- tory, philosophy, art, and music, the course centers around man and the many ways he has expressed himself through the ages.

Mrs. Frances King, Algebra I and II, and Mrs. Dianna Morrissey, Algebra I and Geometry, are discussing a particularly difficult algebra problem. Mr. Denning Buchter, Physics and Geometry, and Miss Nancy Faye Craig, Geometry, are demonstrating several of the properties of an equilateral triangle. 13k Mrs. Evelyn Laxton, Advanced Algebra, Trigonom- etry, Algebra II, and Advanced Math, hangs up her coat in preparation for a busy day. MATHEMATICS The Mathematics Department is de- signed to meet the needs of students who either plan to go directly to work after graduation or plan to continue their educa- tion. It includes basic and advanced algebra, geometry, trigonometry, advanced math, and consumer mathematics. The math classes are designed to help students think logically as well as abstractly. Because math he lps students to think more logically, students can apply this knowledge to other courses as well.
