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. Miss Sybil Marie Hoover Lincoln Memorial University, B.S., Physical Education, Sponsor Miss Carter seems amused at Diane Slusher’s reaction to a Health quiz.

A.C.H.S. Advances With The World As Science Mrs. Flora Armstrong Roanoke College, B.S. Biology, Sponsor, Majorettes, Junior Play, Prom Mrs. Ethel Glover Madison College, B.S. Science Society today is based on a knowledge of advanced scien- tific teclmology. At A.C.H.S. students are exposed to courses ranging from general earth sciences to the more difficult courses of biology and chemistry. Two of the more advanced seniors, who had completed science courses offered at Alle- gliany, took a physics course at Covington High School. Scientific know-how m ust be put to a practical use if a person is to benefit from it. Science students at A.C.H.S. have a chance to apply their learning by participation in the annual Science Fair. Many students take the time to prepare and display a variety of projects. Field trips are another way of helping a student apply his classroom learning to everyday happenings. Mr. Newberry can be seen hiking his students around the school ground on a warm day and having them look for rocks and plants to use the next day for class discussions. Bruce Swartz, Van Wilhelm, C. E. Andrews, and Ronnie Shires were fortunate to be the guests of Vepco and take a trip to Bremo Bluff to see how electricity is manufactured. Science is an experience. A.C.H.S. instructors make the courses interesting and constantly challenging. What is learned at A.C.H.S. will serve the science students in the years to come. Classroom experience is displayed by Mary Ellen Walton as she conducts a Biology experiment with Mrs. Humbert’s guidance. 28
