Phys. Ed. Develops Strength And Character Brenda Hayslett dives through the legs of Sandra Craft, who is doing a head stand. Development of mind and body is the aim of the phy- sical education department. Physical strength without corresponding sportsmanship is of little value. Supervised exercises, team sports, and individual achievements are designed to make all students more phy- sically fit. Individual excellence as well as team perform- ance are encouraged in all activities. Many who discover special athletic interests and abilities also participate in sports which are sponsored as a part of extracurricular ac- tivities. Even those who do not excel in sports find physical education an interesting and beneficial channel of rest and relaxation. Strong, healthy bodies which result from physical exercise contribute to students ' ability to use their full potentials for academic achievement. In addition to helping students develop physically, phy- sical education helps to build character. Students are en- couraged to do their best in all activities. High grades and a sense of accomplishment compose a double reward which encourages further effort. Group activities teach the value of teamwork to achieve common goals. In all en- deavors, fairness and sportsmanship are essential at- titudes. Miss Hoover and her physical education class practice correct bowling methods. Butch Lane and Tex Hazelwood perform a double forward roll during a special performance by the physical education classes. 28
