Ted Leverenz Bob VanderLinden PE tests challenge fitness of students PE is one required course where students can get a break from paper work. During the year students participate in various activities which they may choose according to their own inter- ests. Selections include such activities as basket- ball, jogging, and dancing. Highlighting the course were the physical fit- ness tests given in the fall. Students were able to compete against and compare themselves with other students in their grade. Among the harder tests were the I2-minute run for the boys and the 6-minute run for the girls. Less endurance was required for the vertical jump and the 40-yard dash. l.
