We become healthy and strong through our Physical Education classes. ARLENE SEEGER Illusic Five minutes after school for every minute you talk now PHYSICAL EDUCATION The boys, under the able leadership of their gym instruc- tors, developed their muscles by the use of parallel bars, and other apparatus to he found in the gymnasium. They also participated in the exciting sports of baseball, basketball, football, and swimming. Uur Physical EJUCGHOII program is a training ground for the major letter athletes. The swimming monitors are Varsity team members who assist with the swimming classes. Letter- meu from the other teams use their gym periods for practice and conditioning. The girls also had fun in the gym and the pool. Participa- ting in baseball, volleyball and other team sports, they each developed a sense of real cooperation. This year, the State Physical Fitness tests were once again taken by every Ben- nett boy and girl, to determine whether he or she was a phys- ical genius or a physical wreck. Besides having a good time in these classes, Bennett's boys and girls are being trained by capable leaders in the arts of good sportsmanship, leadership, and coordination. They not only have developed healthy bodies through exercise, but have strengthened their personalities as well.

Jilusic brightens and entertains the lives of many. FRANK NOWAK .Music All together now-one, two, three MUSIC Bennett owes much to its music instructors whose efforts have provided us with the music so vital to many school activ- ities. The Chorus and Orchestra play a large part in the pres- entation of the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter assem- blies, where the singing of seasonal songs and the playing of appropriate music furnish us with the proper atmosphere. Our third musical group, the Band, maintains school spirit by its presence at all football games, and has, along with an enthu- siastic student body, cheered Bennett teams through two un- defeated seasons. In addition to these services, the Music Department has classes in Harmony I and II, Music History, and Rudiments of Music. Music History students wrote term papers on com- posers and presented their papers before the class. Harmony gives students a chance to work on original compositions, the most promising of which are sent to the Best of Today. Many Band and Chorus members belong to the Music Club. In this newly formed organization, the musical ahil- ities of its members are given free expression. Bennett can and should be proud of its active and diversi- fied Music program. 20 I CATHERINE G.

SCIENCE The challenge of the space age has been strongly met by Bennett's Science Departmenl. Remodeling and the generous addition of new equipment have both greatly aided this de- partment. After General or Earth Science, Bennett's scien- tists embark upon the fascinating world of Biology. Dissec- tions and experiments provide ample opportunity for the in- terested student to pursue the answers to questions which puzzle him. Chemistry next challenges the student. Bennett s new lab- oratories have given students better facilities for conducting traditional experiments. Some of the chemistry classes tour local chemical companies to view first-hand professional chemical research. Physics enables students to learn some of the basic prin- ciples of the behavior of matter. Sound, heat, and electricity comprise part of the curriculum. One class, called P.5.S.C., is studying this subject on a higher level with college literature. Each of the described branches of the Science Department has helped us to understand the world about us. Many ont- side benetits such as fellowships to study at area hospitals are obtained through interests and knowledge gained at Bennett. Bennett High School will always profit from the Science De- partment and its excellent staff.
