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.

FOCUS ON DEMOCRACY In the age in which we live, improved communica- tion and transportation have brought the nations of the earth closer together. Therefore, there is a great need for students to be informed about the world, and the Social Studies department at Lee High is meeting this need. In World Geography class, the students work with maps and study about individual countries. World History includes lessons ranging from ancient peoples to present-day happenings. American History gives the students a thorough back- ground in the history of our nation. Government classes hold mock elections and interesting discus- sions about the democratic principles of our nation, Mrs. La Verne W. Cacciapaglia B,S, Madison College American History Mr. E Pa May.
