Education of the whole man cannot neglect the man himself. The discipline of strenuous exercise and gymnastics, the on-the-spot strategies of basketball and softball, and the cooperation and sportsmanlike conduct required in other team sports are the heart of the physical education program. While gym classes are open to Freshmen only, many students take advantage of the athletic facilities available to them after school. TOP: Before starting his stunts.

Under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Wamsher and Mrs. Crary, Home Economics students learn the basics of sewing, home management and cooking — and evoke the envy of students who are not a part of homemade bread and cookies or the latest fashions at a price anyone can afford. Unlike many courses whose material is learned and eventually forgotten, this department provides valuable skills that will be used many times over.
