P.E. Classes Offer Students a Wide Variety of Activities (Above) Freshman boys demonstrate proper procedures on a trampoline in one of their daily physical education classes as they also enjoy themselves. (Below) Freshman girls are seen playing soccer in one of their modern gymnasiums at the new Freshman-Sobho- more Division. r Among the requirements for graduation is that all students enroll in and pass four years of physical education, either regular or modified. Each six weeks a new activity is offered to students relative to their grade level. These activities range from those of freshmen, such as baskeball and softball, to those of seniors, such as co-ed dancing and volley- ball. Swimming instructions are adminis- tered to all students for six weeks every year. In both the Junior-Senior Division and the Freshman-Sophomore Division, the stu- dents utilize and enjoy the athletic fields, tennis courts, huge swimming pools, and the many gymnasiums.

Whatever the book may be, the many librarians at Bloom are always helpful and most patient with all students. All the resources are or- ganized in a convenient and sim- ple manner and are therefore eas- ily accessible. Libraries Help To Fulfill Needs and Broaden Interests From the time a student enters Bloom as a freshman, through his senior year, he may utilize the facil- ities of the libraries many times. Students are faced at least once a year in at least one class, with the tiring task of writing research or term papers. The quiet atmos- phere is also helpful for just plain studying. (Above) Is the library at the Freshman-Sophomore Division. Although it be- gan with only a few books, it is growing rapidly. (Below) Seniors are pictured studying in the main library at the Junior-Sen- ior Division.
