EVANS A.B., Guilford College Page Hi-Y Club Advisor MRS. FRANCES HAMMETT A.B., Greensboro College Medical Club Advisor World of science Page ' s science department offered biology, chemistry, physics, and ad¬ vanced biology this year. Each stu¬ dent was given the opportunity to ex¬ cel in any phase of science. In most of the classes, book reports, term pa¬ pers, and special projects were re¬ quired. In Mrs. Hammett ' s advanced biol¬ ogy class, students probed the anat¬ omy of a cat for thorough study of its organs. Plants, heredity, the human body, bacteriology, diseases, and a study of the forestry around Page were also covered in the course. Sophomores covered a thorough study of biology in Mrs. Hammett ' s, Mr. Stowe ' s, Miss Holland ' s, and Mr. McLoud ' s classes. They pursued the scientific study of the relations be¬ tween plants, lower animals, and hu¬ mans. The advanced class went through a more detailed study under the supervision of Mrs. Hammett. Mil¬ ligrams and mixtures were familiar terms learned in Mr. Evan ' s chemistry classes. Aside from broken equipment and burns, the chemistry students ben¬ efited by doing actual experiments in the laboratory. Lab experiments were also required in Mr. Myrick ' s physics class. The jun¬ iors and seniors learned about ma¬ chines, heat, electricity, radio, light, and the atomic bomb.

General Math to College Algebra Students taking General Math 3 and 4, taught by Mr. Malcolm McLoud, studied lines and an¬ gles, decimal and common frac¬ tions, graphs, and ratios. In Algebra 1 and 2, much emphasis was placed on formu¬ las, simple equations, and signed numbers. Those teach¬ ing this course were Mrs. Anne Sprock, Miss Nancy Thomas, and Mr. Malcolm McLoud. First degree equations, func¬ tional relations, algebraic frac¬ tions, and quadratic equations were all taught in Algebra 3 and 4. Mrs. Mary Robinson, Mrs. Anne Sprock, Miss Nancy Thomas, and Mr. Henry Chad¬ wick were the teachers. Geometry 5 and 6 were taught by Mrs. Mary Robinson, Mrs. Anne Sprock, Miss Nancy Thomas, and Mr. Henry Chad¬ wick. In these courses the stu¬ dents put to use the many post¬ ulates and corollaries they learned. Rectangular and polar coor¬ dinates, trigonometric func¬ tions, logarithms, reduction for¬ mulas, and trigonometric equa¬ tions, were all studied in Trig¬ onometry 7, under the instruc¬ tion of Mr. Alvin Myrick and Miss Nancy Thomas. NANCY LOUISE THOMAS Miss Thomas and Jay Brantley discuss the possibility of proba¬ bility. Mrs. Sprock and student explore all the angles. B.S., Wake Forest College 27
