JACKLYN MARSH B.S., Auburn University Physical Education Physical Education Pericles once said of the Athenians, “They are lov- ers of wisdom without loss of manly vigor.” George Mason is proud of its phy- sical education program which has endeavored to furnish the complement, vigor — or physical develop- ment, to the intellectual quest of the student. How- ever, this is but a part of the physical education goal. Its teachers strive to com- municate to the student rules of good health, to im- part a knowledge of the human body and its func- tions, and to engender a spirit of sportsmanship in all game competitions. Visual aids are used by Mrs. Lanier in her health education class in teaching the human anatomy. 15

v MISS DOROTHY L. CROCKER B.A., Mary Washington Col- lege; M.A., West Virginia University Guidance Director Sponsor: National Honor Society HARRISON E. TAWNEY B.S. in Ed., Ohio University ; M. Ed., Kent State Univer- sity; George Washington Univ. Guidance Coordinator Co-Sponsor: National Honor Society Guidance Whether the student’s prob- lem is large or small, the guidance department always has the welcome sign out to any student of George Mason seeking advice or counsel. Even though the office space is limited, there is a constant hum of activity in this busy place. Indeed this is not the limit to the activity, for these staff members leave their offices from time to time to test students in the cafeteria or the classrooms. When these staff members are not coun- seling, conducting confer- ences, testing students, mail- ing progress reports, prepar- ing the honor roll, furnishing transcripts of grades, enroll- ing student transfers, or cor- responding with colleges, they find time to prepare for a col- lege day, a career day or the honors banquet. “There is always time for one more.” Mr. Tawney finds time in his busy day to advise Sue Levin about the college she is to attend next year. 14
