P.E. Courses Advocate Health Equally important as a healthy mind is a healthy body. Nearly all students take physical education, and PE activities are diversified enough to suit the needs and requirements of everyone. Under the brilliant Arizona sun, golf, tennis, archery, soft- ball, soccer, handball, and other major sports can be played anytime. For those who enjoy indoor sports, bowling, gym- nastics, badminton, square-dancing, weight-lifting, and wres- tling are popular. Besides the general survey courses, there are health classes which teach hygiene and lirst aid. Those who plan to continue their education at a higher institution must also enroll in general psychology and mental health. Phoenix College has always fielded varsity teams. From early September to the final day of school, sports play an active role at PC. The football team consistently engages such California powerhouses as Fullerton, San Diego, and El Ca- mino. From year to year basketball is the best spectator sport here. Several times over the past decade, our club has com- piled an outstanding record and traveled to the national finals in Kansas. Spring brings track men and baseball players outside. Also representing the Blue and Gold are the golf and tennis squads. The Bears have always had their share of victories on the cinderpaths or the diamond. Final sports competition of the year comes at Bear Day when the upstart freshman take on the experienced sophomores in a number of athletic events. n . ' 23

Creative Atmosphere Helps Artists Probably the most popular courses with students are listed under the Department of Art. Nowhere in the United States have budding artists and photographers a greater chance to creatively express the true spirit of the magnificent Southwest. Extra-curricular art activities are prominent here, with a number of student exhibits and contests. Each year the Col- lege is host to the National Scholastic Art Association display. PC's talented students regularly win scholarships to special schools in art and design. At the College, no one art is studied in isolation from others. Members of the classes include the beginner in art and design as well as advanced craftsmen in painting, sculpture, architec- ture, and photography. All find that individual instruction, coupled with the exchange of ideas, serves to stimulate the creative person. In a well-equipped classroom and laboratory setup, the school also offers an outstanding program in the photographic arts. Photo classes include elements of photographv, special problems in photography, and pictorial iournalism. Headquar- ters of the shutter organization is inthe Fine Arts building.
