David McBride learns the fundamentals of football. 28 Boys Keep Fit A greater emphasis must be placed on physi- cal education due to the fact that our modern way of life demands much less physical activity than in the past. Because of the tremendous benefits derived from competitive sports, all students that are not physically handicapped should take part, stated physical education teacher and head coach, Mr. Larry Rice. Each day before participating in any activity, the students are required to take part in a group of strenuous calisthenics. This not only warms up the muscles of the body, but promotes greatly the overall physical condition of those involved. Physical fitness tests are given twice each year to evaluate the physical progress of each boy. The Boy's Physical Education curriculum is com- posed of the following: basketball, volleyball, touch football, track, softball, swimming and health education. Prior to engaging in each of the above listed sports, the students are taught fundamentals. Mike McCallum, James Stanley, and Sidney Seawright participate in track events.
