Running the mile, climbing the rope, chinning 50 times were all preliminaries designed to keep the boys in condition. But after that exercise routine was out of the way, the boys were coached in a variety of sports: football, baseball, tennis, swimming, and more. Besides the rules of the games, the boys were in- structed in more sportsman-like conduct and the competitive spirit was instilled. M sele Grows 263 f

L I 3 41:3 'i 211 rf.. Tf ..I'f ,f 1999- ' The sophomore, junior, and senior girls at Fountain Valley experienced a new form of Physical Education this year. The elective system was put into effect after being abandoned two years ago. This elective system let the girls choose the sports and activities they needed to fulfill certain graduation requirements. Freshman girls still followed the older system where teachers planned the activities. But all classes never failed to begin with those dreaded exercises, and cries of pain iilled the air as girls attempted to do sit-ups and push-ups.

Mrs. Marie Caugney I Mrs Patricia Kay Mrs. Jane McPhee T e 'Spice 0 Life' Initiated by the Homemaking Department this year was a new approach to learning. Much like the work experience program of the Business Department, the Foods Service classes let students actually practice the skills that they needed for future careers. Students were placed in cafeterias, restaurants, and soda shops where they worked for pay and class credit. In its first year, this program proved to be highly beneficial to the students. A popular class for Senior girls was the home planning and family life class. Here the girls planned a make-believe wedding and went through the steps of devising a budget and managing a household. They J even made floor plans for the home that they might some- day like to live in. And to the delight of their mothers and grandmothers, the girls learned to knit and crochet. . Girls taking these classes would be highly qualified for jobs as housewives or home economists. Mrs. Marilyn Watson Mrs. Rosalie White alls Were Alive With Music it Mr James Doyle Mr. Lyman Moore Department Chairman Fountain Valley was very proud of its Musical Department and rightly so. Mr, Lyman Moore molded many varying student voices into the performing Troubadors and other choral groups. And beautiful strains could be heard in the music hall as the department made use of a grand piano which the students paid for themselves. Mr. James Doyle developed the unpolished music skills of many into the marching bandg concert band, and orchestra. Through the dedication of these two teachers, Fountain Valleyis music groups were well- accepted wherever they performed.
