Appalachian Elementary School, physiology class, 1955 , photo 1

This image shows Dr. Frederick Kirchner, head of the Physical Education Department, teaching a physiology class, at the Appalachian Elementary School, also known as the Demonstration Elementary School. Several children are seen surrounding a model skeleton, with Dr. Kirchner holding the model of a human heart. On the back wall are posters of the human body, part of the Denoyer-Geppert Anatomy Series. The word "synapse" is written on the blackboard. Appalachian Elementary School was a joint venture between Appalachian State and Watauga County Schools, wherein Watauga students would be taught by Appalachian State faculty and students, who would gain experience. It was housed by 1955 in Whitener Hall, built 1954, and ended in 1975.
