mnastics Good shot. Normal BOYS GYM Exercise is certainly not lacking to those boys who have participated in Mr. Henry McCarthy ' s gym classes. A well rounded program of various activities has been prepared for the boys and is guaranteed to produce stronger bodies and bigger muscles. When the year begins some time is devoted to calisthenics, then as the year progresses the boys play basketball, volleyball, baseball and to complete the program have intricate bar and rope exercises. In addition to the gym classes many boys participate in various afternoon extra curricular sports and games such as football, basketball, baseball and track. The boys at Chelsea High certainly proved that no matter how much time they must devote to studying there is always time for sports. GIRLS GYM Gym classes, most invigorating indeed, have proved to be the favorite among the girls for the past three years. As silence reigns through the corridors, laughter and cheers can be heard from the gym, proving that all are having a wonderful time. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Reba O. Painter the girls not only learn how to play various games, but most important of all learn the value of good sports¬ manship. In addition to basketball, volleyball, relays, pingpong, kickball, and dancing, which are confined to the gym classes, many of the girls participate in intramural sports consisting of tennis, bowling and basketball. All these activities help to produce A sound mind in a sound body . Up and over, boys!

The drivers of tomorrow. Sandra shows the girls how to take a curve in Mr. McCarthy ' s auto theory class. Mr. Henry McCarthy begins the auto driving program by teaching sophomores the laws of safe driving. Mr. Greenglass and Mr. Robert McCarthy then give les¬ sons to juniors in the school ' s two new Ford sedans. When the students are ready, the instructors bring them before the state inspectors for their driving tests. Most of the students pass this test with ease. Then comes the far more difficult task — the gaining of parental approval. Here too, the program has been marked by success. Thus the School Driving Pro¬ gram has gained the unqualified approval of three hypercritical groups — students, inspectors, and parents. Seel This is what makes the car tick!

Dr. Stone and Miss Painter supervise the girls as they patch up the sick ones. The girls 7 classes are conducted by Dr. Stone and Miss Painter. The boys are taught by Mr. Kipnes. These teachers do their utmost to pre¬ pare the students of The Chelsea Senior High School to meet any emergency with an open mind. This course is outlined and given as pre¬ scribed, by the American Red Cross. First Aid, the temporary care of a victim of an accident or illness before the doctor arrives, is taught to all junior boys and girls at Chelsea High School. Each first aid class meets once a week. The boys and girls are taught pressure points, artificial respiration, tourniquets and bandages. The students practice on one an¬ other, so that, if need be, they will be able to give care at a moment ' s notice.
