Ed., Health Play, Ed., Health Home and School Visitor Although many people think of high school as be- ing primarily educational, the physical education curri- culum is one of the most important phases. A well- developed body is essential for successful studying and for a long, healthy life. Health, taught in the eighth and twelfth grades, stresses this importance. Physical edu- cation puts it into practice. Discussions, visual aides, and classroom instruction is presented in health classes in an elfort to teach stu- dents why a healthy body is important, and how to go about developing and maintaining it. Miss Carol De- Venzio and Miss Marcia Semple teach girls' health, and Messrs. Christ and Barber instruct the boys. The physical education program aims to help stu- dents develop their neuromuscular coordination. Em- phasis is placed both on team sports, such as football and basketball, and pleasure sports such as volleyball and badminton. Supplementing these activities is work on the apparatus and outdoor exercise. WEIGHT LIFT ING WAS :tufted thi: year to enhance Icbeduled phyr. ed. artir'ilie.t.

These courses are practical and are designed to aid students in both the present and the future. Under the supervision of Mr. Edmund Skacan, Driv- ers' Education students are given an opportunity to learn the operation of an automobile. This enables these students to experience, iirsr hand, actual driving conditions and prepares them for the day when they will be driving on their own. Many students obtain their drivers' licenses during this course and thus have the satisfaction of knowing that they have been taught to drive correctly and defensively. Home Economics is an invaluable course for todays' girls, for they will soon become the homemakers of tomorrow. Besides instruction in simple cooking and clothing construction, girls are taught the fundamentals of basic nutrition and family relationships. Mrs. Lois Best and Miss Carol Naptes are the instructors for this course, and take pride in the fact that they are helping to lay a solid foundation for the future lives of their students.
