Physical Fitness Most any hour of the day, should a visitor come to Calumet, he would be greeted with screams from the girls’ gym— screams of excitement or glee. These girls are taught good sportsmanship by play- ing a competitive sport daily. Some favorite sports are kickball, volleyball, softball, and line soccer. Handsrpings, tumbling, and pushups are performed later in the year. The boys’ gym classes are basically the same as the girls’. Among the more popular sports play- ed by the boys are basketball, team relays, and acrobatics. They, too, are taught from the begin- ning the importance of good sportsmanship in vic- tory or defeat. Reaching high to complete his jump shot, Charles Wethington finds tat Jim Ryan is also reaching high to take that ball away from him. Watching the action is Kenny Ring and Jim Rivers. The importance of healthy bodies is emphasized in each physi- cal education class by a thorough calisthenics program.

I For Their Future Roles In Life Gerald Lowry proves to be successful in metal shop with steady hands and steady nerves-without them it may be disastrous. Metal and wood shop give boys the experience they need to aid them in securing vocational jobs after graduation. Special knowledge and skill is re- quired to operate the numerous mechanical de- vices the boys are confronted with in both shops. Before entering either specific field of wood or metal shop, the boys are acquainted with the basic knowledge of machine working through mechani- cal drawing. Here they can become accustomed to designating objects and tools by their proper name and viewing their proposed projects in their proper prospective. Then comes the time when each boy, is given his chance to put to practice what he has learned. Larry Modglin gives a helping hand to Henry Columbo in mea- suring the exact dimensions of a board in wood shop. ■ • Leland Sims, Jim Jones, and Ron Furgye are deligently at work on filing, while Bennie Haynes and Hershel Florence seem mo- mentarily detracted from their lathe work in metal shop. - 13 -

» Requires Proper Knowledge And Conditioning “P,T,X,Z, yes, that’s right,” is the reply of Candy Ruth, who is checking the letter chart for her fellow classmates in health and safety class. Alexandria Kostick finds an explanation of the human heart rather amusing-at least when Ron Atterberry explains it. Since the beginning of time, man has tried and proved different ways for making this world a safer place to live. The students of each health and safety class are taught many of these methods. One large field covered in each class is the study of the human anatomy— what it is composed of, its functions and what keeps it going. Both health and safety play an important part in each and every one of our lives, therefore, it is considered an important subject at Calumet, and it is a required subject for sophomores. Testing the theory that one learns something new every day, Alan Anderson explores the hidden parts of the human ear. - 15 -
