Ed.-Albright College Bouve-Boston School of Wayne State University Physical Education 1946 1956 GRAHAM S. CRAGG JANE SAVERY B.S., M.S.-University of Michigan Monticello College 1953 1946 While the primary function of the Athletic Department is to develop physical fitness in all students, it is ever changing its program to meet these needs and the demands of Varsity sports. This year, the boys' department initiated a cross- country team, which ran in two meets. More athletic periods have been added to the day to give Varsity sports all available time on the existing facilities and not to subtract from the Physical Education Classes. The girls' department had tremen- dous success this year. An undefeated hockey varsity team was followed by a var- sity basketball team which sustained only one defeat. This great achievement was sparked by one of the finest senior classes of girl athletes the school has ever had. With the addition of the new Ford Gymnasium, the G.P.U.S. Athletic Department has again increased its facilities to a level of which we can be proud.

The aims of the Arts Department are, in short, to satisfy a student's need of creation, achievement, and aesthetic enjoyment and to develop, at least, an ap- preciation skill in handling the diiferent arts media and the tools involved. Sub- dividing the program, the Arts Department includes Drama, Music, Sewing, Art, the Shop, and the Library. As was noted in some of the other departments, there has been an increased interest in the arts, which is almost purely elective. The band, a relatively new organization in the school, already has a hard core of seniors who have contributed greatly to its success. The Mechanical Arts Department has at one time or another taught almost every senior boy and several senior girls on the average of two years per person. This year's Winter Show was a tremendous success due to the faithful and voluminous amount of work which was given mainly by the senior class and the stagecraft class, reorganized this semester after a three year lapse. Now, follow the numbers. ,1 if vw'1 f Repeat that, please.
