Current science magazines give pupils a broader conception of biological processes. Senior science involves knowledge of scientific equipment. Accurate notes are necessary for the student who wishes to grasp the mechanics of Physics science Lenoir High School keeps pace with today ' s action via scientific courses. Required of all students are two science units, one of which must be Biology. Microscopes and other lab tools enable students to gain first hand knowl¬ edge of such varied subjects as paramecia, blood cells, bacteria, etc. Two years of Home Economics, which provide a student with one unit of science, give instruction in vitamins, color pigments, diseases and child care, menu-planning and cooking, wardrobe care and sewing, and interior deco¬ rating. Young chemists have the privilege of using the lab for honors projects when they are properly motivated. Mr. Byrd followed up the miraculous moon trips of the summer with involved studies of satellite orbits and rates of accel¬ eration. From such studies as mass and momentum the class branched out into very current aspects of science, keeping up with the astronauts, Jean Dixon ' s predictions, the mysterious zodiac killer, health hazards of cigarettes, air polution, etc. Mrs Inez Jones teaches home eco¬ nomics II and III. and serves as ad¬ visor for the F.H.A Mr James Bradshaw teaches biology and practical chemistry. Mr. Fred Byrd teaches pre-college chemistry, senior science, physics, and serves as advisor for the National Honor Society 28

Berry Burgess and Robert Genwright gain skill in bricklaying courses for use in their future jobs. Mr Warren explains one aspect of the producer-consumer relationship. Classroom work is also an essential part of the I.C.T program. vocational courses Entering the workaday world with no skills or expe¬ rience is rough going. Realizing this, Lenoir High offers interested students on-the-job training under highly qualified instructors through I.C.T. (Industrial Coopera¬ tive Training), D.E. (Distributive Education), and brick¬ laying programs. Mr. James Barker teaches I.C.T. I and III. Mr. Royall Everett teaches Bricklaying I and II. Mr. Mike Warren teaches Distributive Education I and II, Marketing and spon¬ sors the DECA club. 30
