Because the emphasis on physical fitness has become increasingly important in the American high school curriculum, Calumet High School students are required to take at least one year of physical education. The principle purpose of the course is to at- tain the daily exercise needed to build a healthy and active body. In the classes, the students learn to do many exercises and participate in many sports. Among these are: hand stand, tumbling, push-ups, hand springs, kickball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and German batball. Sportsmanship is very essential in any acti- vity or sport, for this reason the students are taught to be good losers and fair players.

Aids In Building Bodies Ron Egener begins to study a microbe as Jo Ellen Wright ex- plains its many structures. “Live and let live” is an old saying. To- day it is a new fact that it is much easier to do so— as the death rates goes down, down, down, so says our Health and Safety teachers. Our health and safety classes are com- posed of two obvious divisions: first, health, and second, safety. The anatomy of the body is studied care- fully including the intricate divisions of cells, organs, and systems. It covers the nervous system, the digestive, glandular, and others. Besides keeping our body strong and healthy, it is also necessary to be able to live — whether driving, sleeping, or plugging the iron in with- out endangering our lives by negligence of basic safety rules. These we try to commit to memory. But more important than just learn- ing them-we apply them to our lives. At the same time, we are observing that old saying “Live and let live”. - 15 -
