Each student is required to spend three periods a week in physical education unless excused by the school physician. Many students look forward to the fun-packed periods spent in gym where all of the wor- ries of the major courses are forgotten. A keen rivalry develops in our volleyball and basketball games. Calisthenics and the study of the human body go hand in hand. How easy it is to Count our muscles after a good workout. Aquatic sports are popular in Clairton. Note the activities of our championship swimming team. YVhat could be more re- laxing than a swim in our cool, clear pool? Most of us would like to see more time allotted to this activity. ln our health classes We study how the human body operates and We learn how to keep it functioning properly. Co-operation and sportsmanship, for which Clairton is noted, are developed in our physical education department. XVin, lose, or draw, a fine, clean competitive spirit is always displayed by Clairton teams. This fact has been commented upon by our op- ponents.

We, the students of Clairton High School, are fortunate to have such an exceptional program in mathematics and science. Many pleasant hours have been spent in the labs and rooms 4 and 201 working towards a brilliant and successful career. Our physics students will long remember those discussions with Mr. Martell con- cerning various problems that were difficult to understand. Many happy hours, soon only pleasant memories, were spent in working our chemical and algebraic equa- tions. The experiments in chemistry and physics proved to be quite successful and we profited immensely by them. A feeling of extreme satisfaction is developed when a particularly challenging problem in math is successfully solved. Geometric theorems proved to be very interesting and also help- ful when it came to working aCroup BD physics problems. These courses are planned to help us in furthering our education. ln these subjects the student receives a knowledge that will be of great use in our modern world. Our graduates, trained as engineers, physicists. and chemists, have been able to find good positions in Clairton itself. Matthew Haramia, LeRoy Grant, and Mary VVinand show that general math prob- lems arcn't really so tough after all.
