A healthy mind in ol healthy hocly Girls' gym teachers, Mrs. Denison and Mrs. Desrochers, prepare to instruct a class in folk dancing. The girls' physical education pro- gram at Classical is quite a well- rounded one. ln the spring and in the fall, the girls' gym classes are held outdoors on the grounds of the Springheld Armory. There the girls learn the skills of fit-ld hockey and softball in addition to getting lots of healthful exercise. During the winter, when classes are held indoors, the girls learn the tech- niques Of playing basketball and volleyball, performing on various pieces of apparatus, dancing, and tumbling.

The litizcbroom and czzstotiittl staffs perform their tasks efficiently w.,-. V A+ Lunchtime at Classical is quite hectic as anyone of the lunc-hroorn staff can tell you. The cashiers who hrave the throng of hungry Classiealites are Doreen Gagnon, Krystine Callahan, Kathleen Callahan, Sue McCook, Linda Quintin, Emily Xvitkowsky, Carol llintr- kley, Carol Bill, Susan Stearns and Dolores Hill. Their work is well done. M Z1 k i n g change quickly keeps the milk lille moving. Here, Kathleen Callahan takes money from Leonard Talevi, while Elaine Ciak, Maureen Chernick, and Joyce lqialhos wait their turn. Cashiers vol- unteer their serxiees during the lunr-h periods and are paid a weekly appropriate wage. Their services are ap- preciated by the students. Here, Doreen Gagnon has apparently avoided the lunch- time rush, and is awaiting her change from cashier Sue Me- Cook. Most of the time the luneh line is full, and knowl- edge of the use of the cash register and of making Cliange quickly are basic skills em- ployed hy the cashiers.
