physical Education The physical education and health program has been set up and divided between various sports and activities, Aside from teaching these activities, the department promotes good sportsmanship. Mrs. Lorna Durflinger, head of the girl's division, was assisted by Mrs. Ethel Groves who, along with other duties, was in charge of modern dance. Howard Saar, director of the boys' athletics, had four coaches working for him. Each instructor was head coach for at least one sport. The students who participated in this extensive program were very fortunate to be able to enioy such indoor sports as badminton, basketball, flicker- ball, ping pong, swimming, first aid, archery, volley- ball, modern dance, and social dance. Outdoor sports included campcraft, softball, speedball, tennis, touch football, and golf. Mr. Siegel gives Earl Dlbble advice on how to shoot a basketball. ROW I: Mrs. Ethel Grovesp Howard F.

Fine Arts To the artistically minded students, three courses of art were offered under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Stein. The beginning artists spent the year learning the principles, fundamentals, and elements of art so that they might be better equipped to work on projects touching upon the many phases of art offered the second year. The more advanced students were in charge of the bulletin board out- side the library along with their regular proiects. The A Cappella, B choir, and the glee clubs, under the direction of Miss Mary Selk, had a very successful year with ll4 students participating. Charlie Newton led the band and swing band at the midwinter concert, games, and after game dances to popular tunes as well as classics and marches. New this year was Marvin Mutchnik who taught beginning and advanced string classes. Miss Stein helps Pat Jonas with her creation as Nancy Coharnour observes Vernon Lobb's proicct,

Vocational Girls The vocational girls department had three di- visions. Sophomores, with the aid of Miss Dora Munson, learned to balance menus, buy econom- ically, and prepare a nutritious meal. In addition to this, the junior girls prepared a delicious three course dinner for their mothers and the Board of Education. Demonstrations on how to sew garments were given by Miss Eileen Flinspach to clothing classes. While following her explicit instructions the girls struggled with zippers, buttonholes, and hems. Then they proudly displayed their courageous efforts in periodical style shows. How to buy china, crystal, silver, and many other home furnishings was taught by Mrs. Dorothy Claus in the senior homemaking class. The girls learned that being a good hostess as well as a good mother played an essential part in home- making. Miss Munson lets Pat Duguid, Joan Reeser, and Judy King know in no uncertain terms that too many cooks spoil the soup. , ik 5 .3 X as 5 Miss Dora Munson: Miss Eileen Fllnspachg Mrs. Dorothy Claus
