W X rp Va 1 by fy, is- Classes of I The classes of Albemarle High School are made up of many ,ifferent students from Albemarle County. Here the students are developed mentally and physically. Mentally, they are developed by taking the courses which they choose from the wide variety offered. Physically, they are developed through the physical ed- ucation program. They become well-rounded individuals when they participate in such extra-curricular activities as clubs and sports. With this education the students become better developed persons and are prepared to live in the America of the future. Robert E. Lee, whose statue appears on this page, once said to the members of his army when he was surrendering to the Union, Make your sons Americans. We are the sons whom Lee was speaking of. We should have a feeling of pride when we are called Americans. Students should strive to gain the best education possible so that they may contribute to America and to make the future a more progressive one.
