Author:
McLaurin Smith-Williams
(Christian Brothers High School, Memphis, Tennessee)
When this instructor arrived at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Tennessee twenty eight years ago, PSSC Physics had already been in use from 1962. Now with the Seventh Edition it is still being used to teach some ninety students per year. A brief history, some reminiscences, and a description of the current program are provided, illustrated with samples of current student work.
