Departments Chem Study South has continued to improve the quality of its science curriculum through adding two courses re- cently introduced on the national educational scene. These courses are designed to increase the student's initiative through a practical rather than theoretical presentation. Biological Science Curriculum Study, called BSCS, is a first year biology course whose objective is a more independent and creative solution of problems. An interesting phase of the course is the use of live, rather than preserved, animals in experimentation. Basically the science of living things, it covers areas omitted in conventional courses. The Science Department includes: Miss McNeely, Mr. Still, Miss Spratt, Mrs. Laye, Mr. Brevard, Mr. Bunch, Mr. Camp- bell. - v Def 9 1 '91, 1,f,A. 0 W WAY yu... W 'fl I . mf .

South's math teachers are unequaled in their fields. There are few other schools in the state which have the Cluality or the variety of math courses which are presented in the South Mecklenburg curriculum. Fifty-tive sophomores compose the new class in SMSG geometry lSchool Mathematics Study Groupl. This class presents to the students the newest con- cepts and techniques in geometry. The prerequisite for this course is SMSG Algebra I. College Algebra, taught by Mrs. Chappell, presents a chal lenge to students.

English Department Stresses Communication The English Department's aims were highlighted this year bythe stressing of creative composition and intensified vocabulary study. The Departmental size was increased by the welcomed addition of three new teachers. The Journalism class continued its practical study of journalistic techniques and its preparation of the Southern Accent, the school paper. lt enriched its activities through a visit to local printing houses where the newspaper staff witnessed professional methods. Though previously experimental in nature, South's now established Creative Writing and Great Books class has expanded by approximately 65fX9 and has enlarged its private library to twenty-five volumes.
