Greater Emphasis on Science in March with the Times Another department that has made vast strides in the past few years at McCallie is the science department, headed by Mr. P. D. Greer. A few years ago, the student had his choice of physics, chemistry or general science. The cadet, however, now may take physical science or biology in addition to the three first named. If he is ambitious, he may take three years of science or four if his schedule allows it. Mr. Greer teaches chemistry, usually taken by juniors. Also this year Peter Carlson taught both chemistry and physics. Most of the physics sections were handled by H. E. Hubbert, and the biology by E. C. Lundien. Mr. Carlson and Mr. Greer shared the physical science section. The Science faculty. Mr. H. E. I-Iubbert, Physics, Mr. P. H. Carlson, Chemistry, Mr. Paul D. Greer, Head of Science Department, Mr. E.

Starrett, W. McCallie, Livingston, Whelchel, R. johnson, and F. Dozier listen to one of Dr. Bob's lectures in English V, a college preparatory literature class. Good Scholarship Begins With One ol' McCallie,s outstanding academic fea- tures is its English department. Eleven teachers made up its 1961-62 staff, headed by Charles E. Gildersleeve. Dr. R. L. McCallie, one of the headmasters, taught the honors section in senior English, English V. Several of the 14 students enrolled took the tests for Advanced Placement in college. Other senior English teachers were C. Cl. Chism and R. L. Williams. Advanced, or fast, classes were also taught on all other high school levels. Mr. Gildersleeve, head of the department, taught the freshmen fast classg Mr. Arthur Krida, the sophomoresg and Mr. A. W. james, the juniors. Other teachers on the high school level were Strong English Foundation J. S. Grow, freshmen, R. C. Gowdy, sophomores, and M. F. McNiFf, juniors. Mr. L. R. Tate, principal of the Junior School, has for many years taught seventh grade English, in which he gives a foundation in the study of grammar that lasts through the senior year. Eighth graders were taught by B. H. Eskridge. In addition to the regular classes, McCallie stu- dents take part in reading programs and vocabu- lary study courses. lVIost classes require reading of books parallel to the classroom study, ranging from six to 10 books per year and three to six during the sum- mer. Every cadet in the sophomore, junior or senior year, spends a 30-minute period each week in vocabulary study, aside from that given in class. The English Faculty, Front Row: Mr. C. C.

Companion Mathematics Expands with Accelerated Studies The lVIil.l1l1Cll12LllCS lJI'Ogl'L1l1'l oll'c1'cd at McCallie runs the gamut from seventh graclc arithmetic to college calculus. 'l'hrce years ol math are required of every high school student for graduation, and most take four or more. Senior math, which included college algebra, trigonomctry, analytical geometry and calculus, was taught by James G. VVarc, head of the depart- ment, and C. Houston Patterson. S. H. Adamson taught most of the geometry, a unified course, also taken by many seniors. Sophomore mathematics was handled primarily by C. M. S. Mcllwaine and J. T. Pataky. This course included second year algebra and in the advanced sections, geometry. Others in high school math included J. W. Campbell, H. C. Milligan, and L. E. Miller. P. D. McKinsey, with the help of Mr. Miller, taught junior school mathematics. ir?
