Physical Education Helps Students Maintain «£ ' . ' -X • Physical health is important to the well- being of any person. Students at Alleghany have a chance to improve or maintain their health by participating in the physical educa- tion classes offered them. Boys and girls enrolled in the classes learn various physical skills ranging from the arts of “Tink-a-Link” and “Lemi-Sticks,” native folk dances, to the proper way to pitch All-American horse- shoes. The coaches and teachers are ex- perienced helpers and all those leaving a class glow with its benefits. Karen Bess, Brenda Howard and Sherry Burgandine prepare for e.xercises as Miss Hoover calls roll.

Students Grasp Calculating Skills Nita Thompson and Harvey Dobbins appear to have no trouble working geometry problems. Mathematics is a subject which requires time, patience and a small amount of natural ability. At Alleghany, math is offered in a variety of forms. Eighth grade students are faced with the “new math” for the first time in their school careers. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors are given the options of Algebra I and II, Geometry, and a most fascinating Trigonometry course. Adding 2+2 and getting 4 is not as simple as it used to be, but the teachers in the Mathematics Department at A.C.H.S. strive to make it simple once again for every student enrolled in the math curriculum. E. Edward Rhea Lynchburg College, B.S.
