Builds Harmony Within Mind, Body, Spirit Miss Constance Charles checks over the marks of one of her classes. Purpose of the girls' physical education department is to satisfy the physical, emotional and social wants of youth. The school strives to achieve this goal by offer- ing a variety of physical and recreational activities. Girls participate in archery, basketball, bowling, dancing and field hockey. Also offered are golf, ping pong, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. Through participation in these games, girls are able to develop physical abilities, and are given a chance to act in situations which are both physically and mental- ly stimulating. Miss Constance Charles heads the girl's physical education department. Working with her are Miss Carole Gates and Miss Irma Calvisi. Miss Irma Calvisi and Miss Carole Gates check over the grade book for their classes.

Gives Background For Future References Science courses at Edsel Ford High School are built around three general objectives: the first being to give stddcnts an understanding of the fundamental concepts which are essential in interpreting the world we live in; the second, to give students an understanding of the methods of science and how these are applied to the solution of problems; while the third is to give students an understanding of the impact of science and techno- logy on man's way of living and thinking. Therefore, science is required for three semesters to enable the student to grow and obtain knowledge in achieving these three general objectives. After the completion of three semesters of required science, basic biology, chemistry and physics, students with the ability and interest may elect more advanced classes in biology, chemistry and physics. Horticulture, photography and astronomy-geology are made avail- able as electives. With this type of science arrangement, three semesters of required science and three or more electives, students not only build a foundation for a better understanding of their environment, but may also receive a major or minor sequence for college admis- sion in science. Mr. Lee Bartlett. Mr. Mark Boersma, Mr. Ernest Burkman, Mr. Ralph Cornell and Mr. Allen Dawson make up a part of the science department. Mr. Stuart Gingrich, department chairman, Mr. Roger Iddings, Mr. Arthur Konarske, Mr. Stanley Smith and Mrs. Lillian Poplawski make up the staff of the science department at Edsel Ford High School. Mr. Mark Boersma’s chemistry class carry on an experiment in the first semester of chemistry. Mr. Roger Iddings. Mrs. Lillian Poplawski, Mr. Arthur Konarske. Mr. Allen Dawson, Mr. Stanley Smith.
