Football: Baseball Mr. Douglass P. Crutchfield Basketball: Cross Country As development of sound mind is the function of the academic departments, development of sound body is the function of the Physical Education Department. It is the belief of the Physical Education Department that the skills essential for developing and maintaining a sound body must be taught to all students, for if the student is to be healthy in his adult life he must be physically fit as an adolescent. The department first attempts to bring all students to a minimum level of physical fitness. In the fall of each year fitness tests arc given to the studentry and those students who fail arc placed in a corrective program. Students remain in this more intensive program until they arc able to pass the minimum test standards. The program for students who are considered physically fit emphasizes the practices of physical fitness while geared to create an interest in athletics. Units are given in apparatus, basketball, softball, track and other athletically oriented activities. For those who wish to participate in a sport not at a varsity level an intramural program is offered. Through its intensive program, the Physical Education Department brings all a step closer to the ideal person, of sound mind, sound body. Miss B.
