V MEOW MEOIA MEOW, MEOW MEOW MEOW mSw... That time of year came around again when the kitty bags were passed out to Advanced Biology students (who then passed out). In addition to their chapter on the cat, they studied Oceanography in depth by taking their annual Field Study trip to Cape Hatteras. They are planni ng a Summer of ’75 trip. As always, the science teachers are deeply involved in their work. They instruct students on a one to one basis and break through the communication barrier that often exists between students and their teachers. They make great efforts to understand how people think and learn, and use this knowledge to stimulate interest on the part of the students. Their concern has obviously paid off, making our Science Department one of the best.

Vocational Programs Center Around Students Students may not be aware of the great opportunities open to them through various programs here at Tahh. DE, VICA, ICT, electronics, and graphic and industrial arts are a few ' of the many courses and programs designed for a student’s future in business of a trade. First year DE students study basic math, credit, and other business functions so that they will be aware of opportunities in marketing and be prepared for employment. The second and third year is a cooperative program in which students combine classroom instruction with supervised on-the-job training. Second year students receive instruction in the following areas: selling, sales promotion, merchandising, product information, human relations, communications, display, and retail mathematics. Third year students pursue in greater depth the development of marketing competencies necessary for full-time employment and job advancement in distributive occupations.

Physics Classes Disfurbed by Chemistry Sound Waves Mr. Jobson and his nomadic Physics classes spent most of this year try ing to find a peaceful and permanent room in which to study. Despite the roar of the neighboring Chemistry class, they studied waves and motion through the use of slinkies and ripple tanks. The Chemistry classes learned the basics, then applied them to practical experiments. Many students learned their valences the hard way. and many received after school coaching on their weak points. Every day, students left Chemistry with characteristic goggle marks on their faces and chemical-stained hands, both signs of a hard day’s work. The college-bound student will not go there unprepared, thanks to the high- level teaching methods of the Tabb High Science Department. Mr. Ellis Boyd, Hampton-Institute, University of Virginia, Science Club Sponsor Mr. George Jobson, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Senior Class Sponsor Mrs Esther Freeman. Radford College, Senior Class Sponsor Mr. Donald Franks, University of Oklahoma, Ohio State University Mr. Boyd hides from Chemistry class. Mr. Jobson gladly gives a student extra help. Mrs. Freeman stresses a point. Mr. Franks explains a principle. 1 I ■4 SCllENCE DEPARTMENT 119
