Physical Education — A Wanted Necessity Physical Education, a necessity for eighth, ninth, and tenth grade students, strives to meet the needs of the pupils enrolled. If, by chance, you happen to catch the students participating in an activity in P.E., you can readily see the excitement and pleasure they are experiencing. Intramurals, many of which are new this year, have also added much enthusiasm to physi- cal education classes. There are three bright new additions to the depart- ment this year. Mrs. Quesenberry, the girls’ new director, and Mr. Fuhrman and Mr. Fore, the boys’ new instructors, have made possible smaller classes and a more varied program of studies. In addition to the regular activities, classroom driver education, health, and first aid courses are required. Overall, the training received in all phases of physi- cal education prepares the students both mentally and physically for a richer life. Mrs. Navahlia H. Quesenberry, B.S., Concord College, West Vir- ginia University; Physical Education, Health; Cheer- leaders. Bobbie J.

MECHANICAL ABILITY? . . . Mr. Anderson instructs Pam Wingfield, one of the few girls enrolled in Mechanical Drawing, in the use of the T-square. Electives Prove Interesting Mechanical and Architectural Drawing are subjects that usually only boys take. But, for the past few years, girls have become more interested in these courses. This year, there are a great number of girls in the cl asses. Taught by Mr. Anderson, Mechanical Drawing opens up job opportunities in the fields of drafting, interior design, and many others. Girls, as well as boys, seem to enjoy this class and the opportunities it holds. Also, Industrial Arts, taught by Mr. Douglas, gives students a chance to exercise their practical and mechanical abilities useful in the home and on the job. Driver Education, a well-established program at CHS, provides both classroom and behind-the-wheel driving instruction. Both help students in their sophomore year of high school to learn how to become safe and efficient drivers. Mr. Carper, the new driver educa- tion instructor this year, works very hard to help the students learn the fundamentals of driving. Certainly, Industrial Arts and Driver Education provide the students with many of the skills that will prove useful in the future. “THIS IS A MOTOR” . . . Mr. Carper explains the basic parts of the engine to Terry Vest. J. S. Anderson, B.S., Virginia Polytechnic Institute; I.C.T., Mechanical Drawing; Sponsor of Vocational Indust- rial Clubs of America.
