Physical Education Every day of the week the physical edu- cation classes are in session with boys' classes on Mondays and Thursdays, and girls' classes on Tuesdays and Fridays. Wednesday is co-ed day. Activities include everything from bas- ketball to ping pong. A new addition to the department this year was the trampoline which many students, athletically inclined and otherwise, had a lot of fun trying out. The physical education program is under the supervision of Mr. Conrad and Miss Dinkel. The classes not only give us an op- portunity to exercise ourselves physically, but also give us experience in good sportsmanship and in getting along with others. g i Mr. Clifford Conrad B.S., Bowling Green State University, M.A., Universi- ty of Michigan. li Z M .M U is ,ew W .. it z, W it 5 t ,- t i .f Miss Maryann F.

Driver's Training Maumee's driver training course, taught by Mr. Whitmer, not only teaches students how to drive but teaches them to drive well. Each student gets actual experience in driving in all weather conditions and in parking the car, as well as learning how the car works and H diem.. Ev what to do in case of an emergency. At the end of the course the students go to the State Highway Licensing Bureau to take their driver's tests. All who have taken driver training will no doubt make safe drivers in the years to come.

M. H. S. Participates ln Election Because the administration and faculty of M.H.S. know the importance of informed citizens, we students were allowed to partic- ipate first hand in this fall's elections. The history and government classes co-operated in covering the campaign in the classrooms. The highlight of the program occurred on a bright October day, when Moumee's citizens as well as the high school turned out to wel- come Mr. Richard Nixon and his wife who I were then campaigning for the Republican ticket. The student body, preceded by the band, adjourned to Conant Street at the Trail where the terrific job done by the band members was acknowledged by the V.P. who shook hands with Mr. Kiger. Mr. Nixon also talked to many of the l0OO people who came to see him. Certainly we shall long remember the event and appreciate having the opportunity to see our Vice-President. Soon after Mr. and Mrs. Nixon arrived at Toledo Airport, Senior Jim Nelson secured a personal interview with the Republican candidate. l-le noted views on several of the major issues which were then written-up for the Maumee Valley News and our own Static. To climax our participation in the '56 election, we were allowed to con- duct a mock election. Each class registered, established precincts, an elec- tion board, and ballots. Then, on No- vember tion, we also went to the polls and cast our ballots. The final outcome was as follows: Eisenhower -286 O'NeilI Bender Straub 24 6, the day of the national elec- Stevenson - -l lO DiSolle -- .J47 Lausche e-- I 85 Ashley .... 167 ,.---246 . -- ,207 so ,221 lr was a lucky day for Student Council President Sharon Eriksen, who was privileged to present Mrs. Pat Nixon with red roses on behalf of the Maumee Chamber of Commerce.
