Wes i MR. CHARLES MILES, MR. HENRY MYERS, JR., B.S., East Carolina College B.S., Richmond Professional In- stitute Better equipped labs provided better facilities for explor- ing the realms of science. Knowledge in the concepts of basic Biology and Chemistry was acquired in the General Science classes. For lab work the students used microscopes to view and draw amoebas, paramecius, etc. In the chemical field, elementary experiments such as distilling water were per- formed. In the biology classes, students worked on assembling a cat from a skeleton. Along with regular lessons Monarchs incubated eggs and raised chickens and tadpoles, and grew plans from irradiated seeds. Properties of distilled water was the first experiment undertaken by the chemistry students. - Mr. Faulkner explains a resistance cab to Buddy Agee.

MRS. JESSIE LOVELADY, MRS. JULIA McGHEE B.A., Westhampton College B.S., Richmond Professional In- stitute to Enjoy F.T.A. Teas If you heard someone talking in the halls, about being on a horse during physical education this year, they were probably referring to one of the many pieces of equip- ment in the gym. This equipment was put to good use by all classes. Aside from the regular calisthenics, students partici- pated in sports such as basketball and softball. During the winter months when outdoor sports were not feasible, students tumbled and did work on the horse and parallel bars. Every other day, students moved into a classroom and studied driver’s training and health education. Seniors Rusty Mooberry, Robbie Robertson, and John Anderson find a practical use for a trash can with Mrs. Saunders as the target. Mr. Winn and Miss Tucker strut across stage as Johnny and the other woman in Hernando’s. Mrs. Brown, Miss Saun- ders, Mr. Creech, and Mr. Geiger enjoy program. Yj

MISS MARY OWEN, B.S., Longwood College MRS. JANET OWENS, B.S., Radford College In more advanced activities, the department gathered data and plotted a solubility curve. As the year drew to a close, the students tried to establish an equilibrium concentration in several solutions and tried to determine the equilibrium constant for all solutions from this data. With the help of Mr. Faulkner, the physics lab was used for the first time this year. The students applied physics laws by the use of the lab about every ten days. Among other things, they measured the speed of sound with drums, horns, cymbals, and stop watches. They also measured the amount of resistances in different circuits.
