MRS. CHARLES WORSTALl, Algebra III and trigonometry teacher, explains a prob- lem to Elaine Parrish. Mrs. Worstall, who attended Ontario College of Art and VSC, received her B.A. in education from the University of Toronto and her M.A. in art from Columbia University. Besides Algebra III and trigonometry, she teaches geometry and sponsors the Beta Club. Mary Sessions, geometry student, prepares to demonstrate the proof of a theorem. MRS. ASHLEY REGISTER, left, and MRS. PERRY ANDERSON compare algebra notes. Mrs. Register, who received her B.S. in chemistry from VSC, teaches Algebra I and geometry and sponsors the Gamma Tri-Hi-Y. Mrs. Anderson, who attended Florida State University and re- ceived her A.B. in math from VSC, teaches Algebra I and II. 23

Mafh Curriculum Offers Varied Courses Solving a complicated engineering prob- lem, balancing a bank book, totaling a grocery slip—in one way or another all stu- dents will need and use math. To meet these needs, VHS offers courses in math. Algebra I, II, and II, plane ge- ometry, and trigonometry. Although most students elect only two courses to satisfy graduation requirements, more ambitious ones take three or four. Since new concepts have brought the math courses at VHS up to date, students receive a more varied math background. WILLIAM E. LOVE studies his grade book. Mr. Love received his B.S. in social science and science from Georgia Southern College and his M.A. in social science from Oglethorpe University. He also did graduate work at the University of Georgia. He teaches four classes of math and one class of Algebra I. MRS. MARVIN EVANS, Algebra I and II teacher, explains a problem to Pen Wells. Mrs. Evans attended VS and the University of Virginia. She received her A.B. in math at Winthrop College and her M.A. in physics at George Peabody College. 22

Science Classes Offer Key to Pine trees, symbolic of this region, provide naval stores, pulpwood, and paper for some of Valdosta's largest industries. New scientific developments keep these industries modern and efficient. In general sci- ence, biology, physics, and chemistry classes, students learn of these developments and their influence on our environment and everyday life. Two units of science, one of which is general sci- ence, are required for graduation. College-bound stu- dents take college-prep biology, while others take a general course. HAROLD SLOANE, who teaches two classes of general biology and three classes of chemistry, prepares his tea table for his chemistry classes' lab experiments. Although he received his A.B. from Holy Cross and his M.A. from Bates College, he also attended Yale University, the University of Maine, New York University, and the University of Miami. W. E. DAVIS illustrates a problem for one of his physics classes. Coach Davis received his B.S. in physical education and his M.S. in school administration from Auburn University and also attended South Georgia College and the University of Florida. He teaches two classes of physics, two of Algebra II, and coaches football, girls' basketball, and track. Larry Sheffield explains the development of the chicken embryo during his biology project.
