This department has been expanded to meet the needs of college-bound students. Several advanced courses are available to stu- dents with superior mathematical ability. Among these are trigonometry, Algebra III, analytical geometry and introductory calculus, and the com- bined course in plane and solid geometry. The latter enables a small percentage of students to complete the requirements for plane and solid geometry in one year instead of the three semes- ters usually required. Advanced as Well as reg- ular classes are available in Algebra II and plane geometry. A new mathematics laboratory was installed in Room 208 at the beginning of the school year. This laboratory is being used experimentally by several advanced mathematics classes. Classes using it have been observed by representatives of other school districts in North Carolina.

It is an elective for sophomores and juniors. 'l'his departments prime concern is not to give students a play pe- riod, but to strengthen them physically and mentally.

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The Science Department aims to inspire the student toward the development ol' the scientific attitude. It has always been important in the high school program to stress the knowledge ol' science, and in today's technical world it is even more important. In past years Rocky Mount Senior High has oflered biology, chemistry, and physics, as a means of keeping up with the world around us. Recently, advanced biology and ad- vanced physical science have been added to the curriculum. These two are offered lor the college bound student as a deeper study into the sciences. Through the use of demonstrations, experi- ments, lectures and discussions in the class room and the projects and reading out ol' class, the Science Department tries to develop the interests of the student. i' -i tri' 'fu og'-'2 i l,'ln-niistry In an advanced biology course, Aundrea Deaton delves into the study of microscopy.
