Fundamentals for a complete education Taking a quick nap, Jimmy Gee seems to be bored with the same old classes English, math, history, and science. Being a part of the high school scene was a long way from the days that were spent at North Lee, Hopewell, North Cleveland or Trewhitt, but the basic idea of learning remained the same.
