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.
