Health and Physical Education Physical Education presented students with new challenges and skills to meet during the past year. For the first time boys took the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test. They were required to run, climb, and jump over obstacles laid out before them. Besides traditional sports, boys had the opportunity to participate in soccer, wrestling, handball, gymnastics, and weight lifting. During the year sophomore girls covered the basic skills of team sports, folk dancing, and gymnastics. Junior and senior girls had the option of several individual sports such as archery, volleyball, tennis, modern dancing, and rhythmic exercise. Visiting speakers and pertinent films helped the teachers of Health Education to offer their students the opportunity to understand such areas as first aid, hygiene, sex education, disease and drugs. t Field trips for Health classes included visits to the University of Washington Hospital and Birth Defects Clinic. bg fs A45 lx GX rr N s s 1, .. .

BEEP Program Awaken Interests Headed by Mr. jack Bateman, a brand-new program was initiated last year. Ballardls Exceptional Education Program kept many students from leaving school. Courses offered were usual in some respects for there were classes in history, biology, math and language arts. However there were other classes which were new. Among these were Film Criticism. Black Studies, New Movements, Ecology, Genetics and a-Iournalism class which wrote and printed the BEEP newspaper. BEEP permitted students to obtain credits for high school graduation at their own speed and at the same time encouraged the students to become more interested in school. Volunteers in Service to America and American Friends Service Society iii , f 'fit A r, -viz ff ,lack Bateman .Iudyjensen Sandra Whaley workers were extensively involved in BEEP.
