Holden Boys' and girls' physical education pro- grams this year included elasses for all students since a new ninth period class for juniors and seniors was begun in addition to those for sophomores and freshmen. Due to the shortened periods this year, all activities were confined to the gym. Boys participated in volleyball, bad- minton, bowling, basketball, tumbling, boeci, and other physical fitness pro- grams. Skill tests, bowling, kick pins, basketball, volleyball and softball were on the girls' agenda. Sophomores and other students who failed to take health education during their second year took that class one six- Weeks period each semester. The course consisted of a study of the functions of the body, along with learn- ing the general rules of physical and men- tal hygiene. Thus, the physical education programs included both physical and academic activities.

,uv . -r F' 1. AMERICAN HIS- TORY comes alive as Russ Sc-hwnb and Caro- lyn Brewer display their completed projects. Social tudies Explore Past, Present To study early American heritage and develop an understanding of American history has been the aim of the social studies courses of Ashtabula High School. During classes of the past school year, American history, civics, world history, and social sciences were offered to many Bulans. The students, freshmen through seniors, studied past and present day happenings found in the world of today. Bulans struggled through lectures, class discussions, movies, reports, and exami- nations in preparation for future years at college or at home. Some outstanding events are the No- vember elections, which are synchronized with general elections, and Youth in Government Day in April, in which chosen members of civics classes fill municipal offices. Current events, maps, income tax, doll clothing, oral reports, research papers, book reports and movies were highlights of the year.
