Director of Physical Education and Athletics Varsity Club Physical Education, A Vital Part Of Student Life In order to keep each student physically fit and to make each student aware of healthful activities to fill his leisure time, the Physical Education Department of¬ fers an interesting and varied program. Supplementing varsity competition in the major sports, a modified ver¬ sion of regulation football, basketball, volleyball, soc¬ cer, tennis, archery, field hockey, and softball are taught to the girls in gym class. A variety of intramural sports encourages the values of sportsmanship and competi¬ tion. The winning teams are awarded letters and tro¬ phies at an annual banquet. Keeping each boy physically fit not only now, but also in later life, is the main objective of the boys’ ath¬ letic program. Golf, tennis, volleyball, wrestling, gym¬ nastics, and weight training are some of the activities in which the boys are instructed. The importance of carry over sports is stressed in both sections of the Physical Education Department. By learning the fundamentals of these sports now, each student will be capable of improving his skill and using his leisure time healthfully in his adult life. Alright . . . Line up 38

Federal Grant Broadens Social Studies Spectrum How can an individual find his way in the maze of contem¬ porary society which places social, economic, political, and ideological obstacles in his way? This is one of the challenges which the social studies student faces. Armed with the fore¬ knowledge that such obstacles will exist and given the skills to understand why some of them exist, how some can be broken down, and how others can be circumvented, the young adult at Woburn Senior High School will be better able to find his place in society, and become a constructive, contributing member of that society. To enable the social studies faculty and students to accom¬ plish their goals the department has been awarded for the sec¬ ond time a Federal grant of several thousand dollars which has been used to purchase additional audio-visual equipment and materials as well as supplementary reading materials in the areas of Anthropology, Sociology, and World Cultures. 37 illCHAEL A.
