STRONG HEALTHY, HAPPY STUDENTS . . . The Aim of Our Physical Education Department BOWN the halls, from the locker rooms come the shuffle, laughter, and general turmoil of students preparing for gym classes, and practice for our various sports. Whether it be calisthenics, basketball, football, or various other games, these students possess a desire to better themselves in their activities, to relax, to attain a better sense of body co-ordination, and to learn the very valuable lessons of good sportsmanship that come with all games. Our gym instructors emphasize personal physical fitness, the unity of team work, fair play, and above all integrity of character and good sportsmanship in all play and in all games, no matter what the sport may be. They feel that these lessons learned on the playing field carry over into the greater and more serious game of life. Here We see Red Cyclones as graceful ballet dancers. These boys love the trampoline bounce. Mrs. Sara McLemore, girls' physical education teacher and Mr. R. E. Wilson, the boys' instruc- tor in a happy frame of mind in the gym.

GIRLS ACQUIRE ESSENTIAL HOMEMAKING SKILLS H YES, we can bake a cherry pie and sew a straight seam! We can do over old furniture and decorate a room. We can read pattern directions and win a prize with our dress creations. We learn to cook an entire meal and to serve it properly. We know that an attractively decorated table adds to the attractiveness of the food. We also are aware that excellent table manners are a must. We enjoy working together in our attractive, well-furnished home economics departments. W help each other and we work in groups learning to ppt? pper, make a button hole, or cover belt buckles. Each of us selects a home project, which may be the redecoration of our own room, an improvement in our kitchen, planting shrubbery, or a flower bed. We learn the value of calories, how to plan a wellrbalanced meal, how to buy food and choose meats, how to take care of young children, and how to budget our would-be incomes when we are housewives in reality. We also stress the importance of values and give and take in this business of home-makingg and we keep first and foremost always the fact that it takes good intelligent planning to make a happy home today. I rf Mrs. Long, Miss Jo Ann Ogle, practice teacher, and Mrs. Crowder teach our home makers of tomorrow. ' mm nan : Mrs. Crowder shows us how to sew a fine seam.
