PHYSICAL EDUCATION The development of the physical self is as important as the education of the mind. Classical offers a well- rounded program of physical education in which each student is certain to find an activity to excite his in- terest. This program is constructed to give the partici- pant the opportunity to develop his body through super- vised exercise and to learn the codes of sportsmanship. 29 This association and competition with others is an excellent preparation for the problems which the stu- dent is likely to meet in the future. At Classical, both the boys and girls receive outstanding instruction in physical education, from which they learn skills, develop toleration and sportsmanship, and derive pleasures they might otherwise never experience.

DRIVERS’ EDUCATION Among the subjects offered at Classical High School is the excellent drivers’ education course. In their junior year, students may choose pre-drivers’ education, which is taught by Mrs. Andrewes and Mr. Batt. This course is a preparation for “behind-the-wheel” experience. Then, as seniors, those who have fortunately passed the pre-drivers’ course have the opportunity to actually get behind the wheel of an automobile, supplied this year through the courtesy of Mr. Gerald J. Palmer of the Reopell Co., and be competently instructed by Mr. Donald Vaughn. SAP siti) CITY OF mig DRIVERS ED A.V. REOPELL CO. UCATION a Se AND AWAY WE GO....
