Active Future Life Urged The main goal of the physical education depart¬ ment this year was to stimulate interest in ac¬ tivities that help to improve physical fitness. The importance of being physically fit is espe¬ cially being stressed among Seniors, many of whom will realize after graduation that being physically fit really makes a person feel better. This, in turn, affects their attitudes and per¬ sonality. Team sports, such as basketball and baseball, and individual activities, such as gymnastics and swimming, help to achieve the desired goals. 24
