B-team Football Coach Boys' Physical Education Flag football, a sport added last fall, was popularly received in Boys' ath- letics classes. Still, soccer, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, gymnastics, trampoline, softball, and swimming constituted the majority of physically endurable and sometimes painfully enjoyable classes. Mr. Ray Moss Athletic Director Wrestling Coach Lettermen's Club Girls' Physical Education Webster was honored to be one of the 25 schools participating in a pilot program to develop a new physical education curriculum for the state. Experimenting with field and team sports as well as individual, duo, and recreational activities provided the basis for the new program. Lummi Sticks, Tiniheling, Folk Dancing, Slim- nastics, and Self-Defense were later added. The art of self-expression using the body as the medium was the implicit goal of Modern Dance. It is offered as an elective for physical education. Movement, force, and variations of level were all considered in original dance compositions performed by modern dance students.
