HULA HOOPS hit Con- verse this year. Nancy Myers, Becky Riley, and Susan Warnock display their ability at hula hoop spinning as Mrs. Hamilton looks on. Phys. Ed. strengthens our bodies Physical education's aim is to strengthen bodies and develop co-ordination. Calisthenics were used in both boys' and girls' classes to warm up at the beginning of the period. Various activities filled the rest of the time. Boys often played games such as basketball or volleyball or they tumbled. Girls usual- ly played games such as kick ball, two deep, basket- ball, or volleyball. They also did some tumbling. A trampoline was used in physical education classes the last semester. Mrs. Hullinger, Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. McCarter, and Mr. McDonald taught iunior high and high school physical education. MUSCLE BUILDERS were used in boys' physical education. Kenny Malott and Gerald Hobbs aid Richard Curtis in turning a flip while Charles Cobbs and Phillip Hale lift barbells.

The dictaphone plays back recorded messages for typing. experience to aid us in life Business education courses as a whole have sev- eral obiectives. These include equipping pupils, re- gardless of future occupation, with business skills and knowledge useful in personal business and con- sumer activities, as well as promptness in preparing personal and business reports. In all business education courses at Converse High School these objectives were stressed, with the hope that they would carry over into future business and personal situations. Another course designed to help pupils in the future is vocational guidance. Vocational guidance, which was given to the sophomore boys, attempted to equip them better to make the choice of a iob, which ranks along with choosing a wife as one of the two most important decisions a man will make. The sophomore boys studied the different families of vocations, the characteristics of a good employee, what an employer wants from an employee, and the correct way to go about getting a iob. PLANNlNG MY FU- TURE appears to be an appropriate title for the guidance textbook. Mr. Ford shows Jim Bow- man, Eddie Hardin, and John Howard the various fields of work.
