PHYSICAL FITNESS Dickie Bell and Woody Wimer Katherine Hodges Brenda Helmick James Lloyd Conger B.S. Appalachian State Teachers Col- lege Physical Education Miss Bette L. Harris B.S. Madison Col- lege Physical Education 25 Physical fitness, the ambition of John F. Kennedy for every American youth, is certainly stressed in the Physical Education department of Lee High School. Lee's boys and girls are well trained both in basic sports and the importance of good health, co-ordination, team work, and good sportsmanship. Boys! physi- cal education classes are taught the fundamentals of football, basketball, wrestling, tumbling, baseball, and weight lifting, as well as daily exercises to increase flexibility. Physical education classes for the girls include such sports as hockey, soccer, basket- ball, softball, tennis, and gym- nastics. Weekly trips to the local bowling alley for fun and in- struction, were organized under the direction of Miss Harris, who also organized intramural basket- ball.

Science is one of today's most rapidly growing fields. At Lee High, students take advantage of the many op- portunities available to them in this field through classes such as general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. The biology stu- dents will never forget the time when they dissected frogs and when they saw (for the first time) the skele- ton in the closet. A trip by bus to the city's filter plant was one of the highlights of the year for the chemistry students. A new method of teaching physics required much thought and time from those in the P.S,S.C. phy- sics classes, but will be of value to them in college. Attracting attention in the science field is the forma- tion of a Geology Club, the first of its kind at Lee High. Composed of eight members, the club's purpose is to learn more about geology. To do this, the members enjoy going on field trips to neigh- boring farms and caverns. GEOLOGY CLUB FORMED John A. House A.B. University of North Carolina M.T.S.
