 Bodies React To Mental Impulses The Physical Education program encom- passed much more than sports, for it is an in- tegral segment of our total living. The wide variety of gym classes had the res- ponsibility of contributing to the growth and development and usefulness of every student. It contributed immensely not only to the de- velopment of strength, endurance, and coordi- nated body movements, but also to spirited sportsmanship. It has an additional respon- sibility of making available activities to be used in leisure time and recreational pursuit, and of providing an understanding and aware- ness of the care and health of the human body.

The Accomplishments Of Individuality Flourish The Industrial Arts Department became respon- sible for having fostered knowledge and craftsman- ship among the male students in the subject areas of drafting, woodwork and metal works. It provided the students with opportunities to plan, to use pre- liminary experiences in utilizing tools and processes to construct articles and perform jobs, and to de- velop a sense of appreciation and understanding of this modern industrial civilization. It also provided for the student, a chance to evaluate their own in- terest and skills in relation to the demands for suc- cessful competition in industry. In an attempt to help female students the Home Economics Department instituted instructional pro- grams to teach students acceptable practices in the study of home and living.
