MR. JAMES R. SNYDER Head of Physical Education De- partment: West Chester State Teachers College, B.S.: Temple University, Ed. M.: Director of Athletics: Sponsor of Intra- murals. Rings, Rope Health and Physical Education play an increasingly important role in modern education, because our civilzation is becoming more sedentary. Our Health and Physical Education Department has obiectives as important as academic skills. The Department aims at physiological development and improved social attitudes and mental alertness. Mr. Snyder states: Participation is our watchword: we provide for this in two areas: required physical education and volunteer activities. Girls and boys have basically the same curriculum. The fall program includes calisthenics and marching, touch football, hockey, and soccer. Parts of the winter schedule are basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, calisthenics and marching, wrest- ling, co-ed activities, and rhythmics. Spring activities are softball, track, and tennis. Volunteer activities are available as varsity and intramural sports. Brandywiners may compete in ten varsity sports: football, cross country, hockey, basketball, wrestling, softball, baseball, tennis, golf, and track. If varsity teams cannot handle all interested students, these sports are also run on an intramural basis, with the addition of gymnastics and volleyball. The second area of activity of the Department is health instruction. Classes promote the health and the physical, social, and emotional well-being of students, and give them a working knowledge of safety and first aid. Spectacular spike by Roger Wolf.

Paints and Palettes Our fine arts department offers tour courses of art as electives. The work covers a wide range of media such as draw- ing, ceramics, sculpture, oil painting, commercial design, and art history. The course will enable the student to have a more aesthetic insight into the world in which he lives. About one hundred and twenty students are taking art this year with about ten to twenty ot' them planning to continue in this field. In Art I and ll emphasis is placed on problems in de- sign. Art Ill branches out into more three dimensional projects. ln Art IV a choice is given for specializing in a chosen field. Our long range plans include more commercial art work in graphics, which will require commercial art equipment. MR.
