The boys’ physical education instruc- tors, Mr. Althouse, Mr. Loper, and Mr. Tofaute, are planning the series of exercises that will develop needed stam- ina. Playing soccer, as well as other out- door games, builds up the bodies of our students enabling them to mature into graceful and healthy adults. Mr. Loper, boys’ gym instructor, is in- tent on his counting, hence he misses the expressions of the others who may wonder if they can do as well. The girls’ gym teachers, Mrs. Althouse, (seated) and Mrs. Hendricks (center), and Mrs. Hopkins, new health teacher, are responsible for their physical de- velopment. Before a period of rugged activity, the girls line up for roll call; perhaps, wondering what the day will hold for them in one of Mrs. Hendrick’s classes. Occasionally, Miss Zaugra, school nurse, applies her expert knowledge to cafe- teria help. In addition, she is respon- sible for checking school attendance. Proud seniors of Burlington admire the many trophies won for outstanding achievement in athletic competition in past years. One of the most popular periods of the curriculum is lunch. This waiting line triples on rainy days. Pity third lunch period students! It is obvious by the look of this group of seniors that lunch is still an im- portant part of the daily schedule.
