Pounding feet, excited cheers: all tell us that gym class is fun! Meanwhile Clayites learn fair play, solid team- work, and the importance of physical exercise. A course in health confirms this. There the boys study the whys and wherefores of a healthy body. At the same time, home ec girls work hard and earn a Red Cross Home Nursing Certificate. Driver's education, where teens are trained to become responsible and careful drivers, is growing more important each year. Teens some- times find that auto insurance rates are lowered, too! Clayites find another help in the school's guidance program. They learn to appreciate the friendly smile and understanding that greets them when they have problems or need guid- ance in choosing a career.

N music fllleo am Ohhh, groans a member crf the choir, 'you hit the note beautifully . . . but it was the wrong one! It happens every now and theng but as a rule its very seldom. Come nowg let's be honest with ourselves. Clay's band and choir are the best this side of a sharp note! Both the band with 70 members and the choir with 150 are directed by Mr. Prout. With his direction and their cooperation, Clay's music department has built up a high Standing among its contemporaries. Meanwhile, it plays an important part in our community. The band and choir often work together in giving different programs, such as the Christ- mas program, a Pop Concert, the Spring Fes- tival, etc. They also perform separately. The band participates in a yearly contest, in com- petition with many schools across the state. They also go on tours. The choir, too, has an active program which includes singing for many different activities at school. During their busy year, they are hacked by all loyal Clayites.
