S.: Bluefield College B. S.: Radford College Mathematics Mrs. Loftus grades geometry test papers. With emphasis on improving instruction, the Mathematics Department endeavored to impart a genuine understanding of math to the student. Members of the department attended meetings on the state level and prepared a report based on a study of their needs for the planning Committee for the Comprehensive high school. From the fundamentals of math to the most advanced teachings, both practical and abstract applications were learned. Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced math became tools of the mind. An increase in the number of students enrolled in the higher courses speaks well for the Mathematics Department. .Mrs. Hotz watches for reactions as she explains graphing quadratic equations. 26

GOOD HEALTH STRESSED Mrs. Joyce S. Bryant B.S.; Radford College Health and Physical Education Mr. Aubrey C. Correll B.S.: University of Georgia Health and Physical Education Mrs. Janell N. Dobbins B.S.: Radford College Health and Physical Education Exercising is a major part of the physical education classes. Mr. Harry L. Loftus A.B.; Lynchburg College Health and Physical Education; Driver Training Maintaining that physical fitness is necessary for mental fitness, the Physical Education Department worked toward the goal of strengthening our muscles whUe developing our minds. Lessons in first aid, men- tal health, and control and prevention of diseases made us aware of the need for joint efforts for the welfare of others. Individual pride was stimulated as we studied personal grooming, and alertness behind the wheel became evident in our driver education classes. Some of our most worthwhile moments were spent in team and individual sports. During these times we experienced the joy of winning and the humility of losing. In everything, we were taught that good health is a most priceless possession and we should aim to keep it. 28 Coach Loftus leads exercises.
