PHS. Three of these students, Robert Gemmell, Martin Bow- ers, and Jeannie Whitman, were chosen as members of the Governor’s School for the gifted. Rodney Ratcliffe and Shawn Harrell attended an art workshop at Ferrum College. A schol- arship was given to Nola Vanhoy to attend a science institute. ROBERT GEMMELL, a senior, attended the Mary Baldwin Center. His two main areas of study were mathematics and organic chemistry. His mathematics class dealt with probability and statistics. In his chemistry class he studied methods of handling organic compounds. He also completed work on a project of electroculture. ALSO ATTENDING the Mary Baldwin Center was Martin Bowers, a senior. He took courses in computer programming and in organic chemistry. He found the opportunity to work sophisticated equipment invaluable. In addition to his main classes, lie also participated in interest groups. These groups included computer games, use of the slide rule and calculator, and open forum, which was a discussion on scientific pheno- mena. CARSON NEWMAN COLLEGE was the setting for a schol- arship given to Nola Vanhoy. She received this scholarsliip to attend a National Science Foundation Institute. She took classes in biology and chemistry. Structured organic chemistry labs were another activity which she was involved in. She also completed a research project on water pollution. For her work at Carson Newman, she will receive six semester hours in biology and chemistry if she attends the college. She is pre- sently a senior. SHAWN HARRELL was accepted to an art workshop where she majored in ceramics and weaving. In her weaving course she learned the processes involved in both traditional and conventional weaving. As a result she purchased a loom on which she has continued her work. The ceramics class stressed the mixing and use of individual glazes as well as commercial ones. She has also built her own kiln. JEANNIE WHITMAN, a junior, completed a stay at Mary Washington. The courses she studied were fine arts. As a member of this class she attended such performances as the ones given by the National Ballet and the Cleveland Sym- phony. Featured speakers at Mary Washington included Gover- nor Holton. RODNEY RATCLIFFE, a senior, was chosen to participate in a photography course offered. During this course, he was allowed to use many facilities of which he had little previous knowledge. He was able to use resources such as a darkroom, with freedom. Field trips included visits to Roanoke galleries, Fairystone Park, Farmer’s Market, and surrounding areas of Ferrum. 28
