Miss Yarbrough’s girls’ physical education class performs group exercises. P.E. offers variety of sports The Physical Education program at Independence has everything to offer. The program gives the student an opportunity to participate and learn more about sports. Activities such as tennis, ping-pong, bowling, dance, soft- ball, track and field, gymnastics, archery, basketball, wrestling, golf, and volleyball are offered in Physical Edu¬ cation.

Science department lacks supplies Mrs. Whitesell, Bill Parks, and Jay Alexander watch pa¬ tiently for the outcome of a lab experiment. In his characteristic pose, Mr. Starling explains parallel and series circuits to his physical science class. The science department is involved in teaching biology I and II, chemistry I and II, physics, and physical science. The department does not yet have all the equipment but the supplies are being accumu¬ lated. The science students try to make logical conclu¬ sions about what happens in their experiments after carefully analyzing their collected data. Most of the experiments done are of the discovery type. Mr. Starling’s classes have made some of their own equipment. Among this equipment is an airgun, a frictionless puck, and a ripple tank.

Music department presents The Lights of Christmas Our music department, which is head¬ ed by Mrs. Ferrell, has completed a very successful year. The choir, band, and or¬ chestra all excelled in their performances this year. The band received new uniforms in the style of the Continental Soldier. The choir was fortunate in receiving new robes the first year. The choir, chorus, and orchestra joined together to perform The Lights of Christmas. The choir also gave several appearances at other school functions. Both groups performed at the District Choral Contest. Choir members rehearse daily for future performances. Orchestra mem¬ bers show that concentration is necessary in pro¬ ducing a good sound. Mrs. Ferrell conducts the choir in one of their numbers.
