' Phys ed ' seeks new frontiers in physical fitness Seeking new frontiers in physical fitness, physical education, Health, Driver Education, and ROTC classes strive to attain healthier and stronger bodies and achieve better minds. High requirements for physical fitness are stressed in phys ed testing. Pupils take part in conditioning exercises and athletic activities to build endurance and skill and to develop emotional control, sotnrd attitudes, and good citizenship. Special equipment for testing physical and mental alertness is a part of Driver Education classes. In addition to classroom activities, pupils spend several hoins behind the wheel to improve re- flexes and maneuvering abilities. Mixed health classes, new at Ripple this year, are intended to give pupils the right attitude to vard health and to instruct pupils in maintenance of high standards of health for themselves. Long hoins of strenuous drill and specialized training earned first place in the city rifle meet for the 10G2 Ripple team. Among the top-ranked in the nation, the rifle team has received both indivi- dual and team honors this year. In addition to sharp- shooting skills, rotsy boys gain a general kno v- ledge of military conduct. Teaching class for a few minutes, Health pupil Suzi Pels ex- plains the levels of human behavior to class members. Coordination plus physical stamina equal a fast timing on the obstacle course for boys in physical edu- cation. The obstacles consist of various materials and pieces of apparatus around the gym.
