Probes World Cf Man and Matter Crashing test tubes, the aroma of a newly disected fish, and an assembly of levers and pulleys- sights and sounds of Patrick Henry's science department. Chemistry, biology, and physics divisions cont i n ued to make strides in preparing students for future careers. The chemistry en- rollment was twice that of last year, showing increased scientific interest among students. This year two Patriots pratici- pated in the Student lntern Pro- gram in which they learned lab techniques at a local hospital. Jean Bailey placed lst in the girl's physical science division in the city fair. Mike McClung and Boyd Nichols both placed 3rd in their respective divisions. Mr. Waldron, graduate student, supervises a physics ex- periment performed by Jim Davis, Bbbby Rutherford, Horace Thomas, and Jim Kulp. l A 'o-- li Mrs. Dickerson points out bones of the skeleton to biology students. if r ei s J T at g ililflh' A ' P 'L -JU - 'f,.

Over l,OOO of Patrick Henry's l3OO Patriots are enrolled in one of the eight math courses of- fered. Many students take basic or general math. Those enrolled in Algebra l, Algebra ll, and Plane and Solid Geometry study the basic concepts of modern mathe- matics. The set theory and new definitions for mathematical pro- perties perplex, bewilder, and fascinate numerous Patriots. Advanced math courses, Col- lege Algebra, Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry, are semester courses carrying a half credit in- tended further to prepare pupils for college math. For the first time a fifth year of advanced math, including a semester of calculus and a semes- ter of analytical geometry, was offered to those who had taken Algebra in the eighth grade. On March 4, interested and competent math students took a test given by the Mathematics As- sociation of America. Jill Butler, Pat White, and David Davis, engrossed in Algebra l board work, never realized that the camera sow them and snapped them.
