Physical Fitness Plan Taught in Jeff G m The Presidentls Council on Physical Fitness asked the youth and adults of this country to take an active interest in the fitness of its citizens. The physical edu- cation classes at Jeff fulfilled this request and provided enjoyable recreation as well as the necessary hard, challenging work, For many days the girls, physical education classes were seen running through the gym balcony clad in their bright blue gym suits. They were headed toward the Hlittle gym where they learned modern dance movements, tumbling, and table tennis. Other days found them on the gym bleachers engrossed in tests covering the rules and history of various sports. When the boys werenit occupying the main gym, the girls used it for basketball, volleyball, and badminton. During good weather, the boys' classes ran to the ,left football field where they played softball, football, and other vigorous outdoor sports. During the winter, while the girls occupied the Hlittle gym, the boys used the gym to improve their basketball skills. The boys, tiring calisthenics and the girls, posture- improving exercises, which caused many sore muscles, and the cold showers at the end of each class were bad memories for sophomore gym pupils.

All Phases of Home Are you able to bake a cake without using a mix? Can you read patterns well enough to make a suit or a dress? Do you realize the problems that can occur when there is a divorce? If your answers to these ques- tions are negative, then it is certain that you have not participated in the home economics classes at Jeff. Taught in these courses were clothing, family care and child development, family living, home manage- ment, and foods. The exception to the rule that only girls were allowed to take home economics was the family living course which boys could take. This course provided the pupils with a solid background for their future roles as marriage partners. Discussed in this course were the aspects of dating, the necessity of making a good marital choice, and the influence that children have in marriage. In this course viewpoints of both boys and girls were studied in solving problems. l'Trix with Mixes, Hlforeign Foodsf' uCooking for Two, and '4Cookie Timew were favorite units studied by the foods classesg pupils in the family care class enjoyed learning to take care of family members who do not feel well.

Can you distinguish between anesthetists and anes- thesiologists, or internes and internists, chiropodists and chiropractors, or psychiatrists and psychologists? If you were a student in one of the sophomore health classes this year, you could. Mixing learning with pleasure, the girls' health classes enjoyed a grooming g'buzz and an alcohol and tobacco panel. One other activity which afforded much pleasure for the students was applying first aid to their fellow classmates. The boys, classes studied the need for a well bal- anced diet. They learned how good, nutritious food could affect their physical and mental health. The func- tioning of the bones, muscles. and organs of the body was also studied. While mastering beneficial health rules, students became acquainted with the various health facilities located in and around Lafayette. With the completion of the health course the students had gained experi- ence and knowledge needed to attain perfect balance in mental and physical health, and they had greatly increased their vocabulary. Their studies had made them more responsible, well-informed citizens and better family members.
