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?

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.
