Chem-Study and Chemistry 2 Encourage Sandy Gill sets up an experiment in which she generates oxygen in Chemistry II class. Today ' s seniors are finding science more and more em¬ phasized in modern colleges, and they can find no better preparation in physics, chemistry, biology, and gen¬ eral science than in that offered here at Lee. Freshmen receive an excellent introduction to science in gen¬ eral through a well-rounded course in general science. After the first shock of dissec¬ ting worms, biology students usually survive to spend an interesting and informative year in the study of living things. With an emphasis on experimentation, two years of Chemistry are available, in which students learn the fun¬ damentals of this basic sci¬ ence. Enriched by a trip to the local industries, Lee ' s physics classes take a mod¬ ern P.S.S.C. course which comprises a harder but a better preparatory physics. Because of the importance of modern day technology and scientific advances, Lee is proud of giving its students such an excellent foundation in these sciences. MR. GEORGE S.

MR. JAMES L. CONGER Physical Education Appalachian State Teachers College B. S. Wilma Crosby and Vickie Fitzgerald learn the relatively unknown sport of field hockey in physical education. It is a sport which keeps them jumping. MR. DELMER G. BOTKIN Driver Ed. Phy. Ed; Bridge- water College B. A. Physically fit is a byword in today ' s civilization. We need to build our minds, but just as important, we need to build our bodies. Many of today ' s and even more of tomorrow ' s jobs will demand strong bodies. Astronauts, Peace Corps Volunteers, and almost all federal and govern¬ mental jobs require people who can endure long days without becoming exhausted. Many students complain about the vigorous workouts, but in time they will come to see how vital they are to each of us. What! A Hot Rod in class? It ' s OK. Mr. Bodkin uses this model to demonstrate how a motor works to the Driver Education class. Miss Harris keeps the girls fit by playing hockey, volleyball, basketball, tennis, and many other sports. Our daily exercises keep us limber and ready to go! Coaches Conger and Botkin give the boys daily exer¬ cises. They learn the rules of football, basketball, vol¬ leyball, and the tumbles of wrestling. MISS BETTE L. HARRIS Physical Education Madison College B. S.

If Bob thinks the amoeba is puzzling, he should wait until he studies the frog and human skeleton. 27
