CURT TREFFURTH IOSEPH TUREK IOSEPH VALERIO IAMES WALLACE EDWARD WEBER RENEE C. WEIR CHARLES WERNER WALTER WERRE COACH FLOYD BROWN pkgaicaf glclucafion f Physical fitness, a necessary requisite with mental fitness, is an essential portion of every Craneite's train- ing. Three times a week is spent indulging in some form of exercise, be it gymnasium, swimming or R.O.T.C. The new types of drilling instituted in our gymna- sium during the last few years has shown immeasur- ably in the development of the physiques of the students taking this training. Freshmen especially will receive the full benefit of the improved program de- vised by our Physical Education Department. In lieu of gymnasium, R.O.T.C. may be substituted. Rifle calisthenics are an important part of the Corps' training, so a Craneite's health is never neglected. Eight semesters of either gymnasium or R.O.T.C. or a combination of both are required for graduation. In the swimming classes, both swimming and the art of handling one's self when in water, are taught. Every student is required to pass at least one semester of swimming. Health classes, in which the boys are instructed in the physiology and care of the human body, must be attended once a week. Our athletic teams are another source of physical culture for the conscientious athlete who is interested in athletic prowess and the athletic standing of his school.

uaic anal .xdrf Q Music, through the ages, has been an inspiration to man. Man without music is a machine, incapable of emotion. Through music is attained a character capable of absorbing and appreciating everything. It supplies the missing something in pure statistical knowledge necessary to instill a desire for beauty. With it is completed the otherwise animal-like creature which is man. Our Music Department offers one the opportunity to develop these fine qualities and at the same time af- fords the chance to pass on to others that which has been gained by such experience. A form of this is the fine assemblies, participated in by our Glee Club, Band, and Orchestra, which have brought pleasure to the Craneites. Art is another medium by which enjoyment through self-expression is attained. Regardless of the talent of the individual the creative desire is fulfilled. Many posters and scenes depicting coming or important events are drawn by those who are especially talented. These are used to reach the students for whom the events depicted will be of interest or consequence. They perform a function which would otherwise remain undone. These departments comprise an influential unit to which we are indebted for their unceasing efforts to raise the standards of our school. The Music Department is headed by Mr. Lewis Thomas: Miss Grace Diaz heads the Art Department.

The method used in attaining this end is to have both parents and instructors meet and discuss ways in which better understanding can be reached between teachers and students. Not being a strictly business organization, the mem- bers get together several times during the semester to enjoy lectures, teas, discussions, and the like, and occasionally visit places of interest. More of the fine Work done by the P.T.A. can be seen in the form of the funds raised by them for various worth while causes. In school, or out, if the cause is constructive, it receives their fullest support. The effect of the group on the school is immeasur- able. It has brought about better teacher-student rela- tions, tending to make learning easier and more desirable. Also, it has given rise to civic reforms and aided community betterment projects. We have reason to be proud of our Crane chapter of the P.T.A. and should support it to the best of our means. M 25 if Works .lust like Your Mixmaster, Ma!
