Physical Education Builds for Physical Fitness Building both the bodies and morals of the students of NLRHS are the physical education classes. Never a dull moment in the classes from the roll call to that satisfying shower. Boys' phys. ed. begins with 15 minutes of exercises which is followed by such endur- ance-testing games as dodge ball and rough ball. Also included on an average week's agenda are wrestling, boxing, track running, and peeking through cracks in the partition. Girls' P. E. includes folk dancing, soft- ball games, volleyball, ping-pong games , shuffleboard, and basketball. ln an average week these young misses dance the Teton Mountain Stomp, Put Your Little Foot, and Kora Buska. They will play dodge ball, will jump on the trampolin, and will do various acrobatics. These physical education classes help to develop youth in such a way as to help him cope with his fellow man through group partic- ipation. And then of course there is its benefit physically. . .

As each day goes by our country becomes more mech- anized. The need for skilled tradesmen is being met by our vocational department. The basic rules of mechanics, elec- tronics, machine shop, and industrial arts are taught by the instructors. During the spring members of the classes compete for honors in the Future Tradesmen of Arkansas' convention. In auto mechanics junior and senior boys repair and overhaul cars belonging to students, teachers, and outsiders. The draftsmen being trained in our mechanical drawing department will someday be among the architect and engineers of our changing world. ln the mechanical drawing department ideas are placed on paper for the workmen. Each blue print must be perfect. The electronics department trains the boys in radio and related repair work. Each student knows the fundamentals of elec- tricity when he completes the course. lnto the hands of these young people will fall the responsibility for the mechanics, electrical engineering, and crafts of tomor- row. 1 Larry Rice tunes the carburetor of a '57 Ford in Auto Mechanics.

Tap, will you please hurry, we're going to be latel! exclaim Mrs. Jim Grimmett and her speech students as they prepare to leave for the State Speech Festival. This darn old pen never works right! moans Jan Winn as she and Robert McBride prepare their debate against their opponents Dana Smith and Steve Riggs. Speech Offers an Excellent Course of Release ln any environment, culture and art are two necessities for a well-rounded life. They are that extra glow in the dim shadows of dreariness, a bittersweet taste in a fascinating brew of actors, debaters, and speakers. The North Side Story cannot be complete without mentioning its speech arts. There are many facets to North Little Rock I-ligh's speech department. Each serves as an outlet to the students who are inclined for this particular stage of learning for future use. lt serves as an excellent course of release. Debate emphasizes the art of thinking on one's feet, an important factor for future lawyers, perhaps, who will no doubt have an excellent beginning here. Speech ll QDramatics5 is concerned with reading and analyzing plays in one specific area. The dramatics department also takes charge of promoting their widely anticipated production ---- the senior play. For first year students, Speech l is a blessing for those who enjoy speaking, listen- ing, learning, and getting just a small taste of debate for next year. Speech is a fundamental stepping stone in society. lt need not be an obstacle. The honors speech art students have won speak for themselves in city and state tournaments. The goals are merely to speak clearly, decisively, and correctly, issuing self control and ease. Just ask any speech student who has achieved them to explain. Sharon, please, l'd rather do it for youl pleads Jane Ann Munnerlyn a s she applies make-up to Sharon Beall. Mrs, Grimmett, what do l do if it won't come off? asks Jan Winn removing make-up. 4 .
