yj Jeanne Wilson Ron Robert Katherine Grazina Diane Deirdre Leman Root Shypka Stonkus Somerville Vincent This is the title of the new course which we are teaching, to our students of French. The student in grade ten has been studying the French language for four years, and in grade nine for three years. Oui, ici on parle francais. The purpose of our language course is communication. We are striving for competence in hearing, understanding, speaking, reading, and writing. With the new sequential program in French, (grades four to thirteen), we hope to achieve this goal. Speech and the written language are of equal importance now. Last year a group of grade ten students under the direction of Mrs. Somerville put on a play in French - Rosalie. For the past two years, a group of thirty-five students and teachers has gone to Quebec City for a long weekend in May. The purpose of this trip was to foster better relations between our students and our French-speaking neighbours, and to enable our pupils to use the French they had been studying at Delta. This year, we started a Language Club. Meetings were held once a month after school. We had slides, movies and games. The meetings of this club proved to be rewarding in many aspects. library

PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH ANNE MONTGOMERY LYNN PAINE MISSING: GAIL KINGSLEY LILLIAN ZYCHOWICZ 70 The Physical Education program at Delta has 2 divisions. For the grade nines and tens, it is the promotion of sports. This is attempted by emphasizing physical fitness, the learning of skills and the promotion of team and individual activities. We hope at this point to get the students involved intramurally and interscholastically as players, managers and spectators. For the senior students, the emphasis is on preparing and introducing the student to activities which he may choose for him- self after graduation. The theme is now placed on recreational skills and games which we hope will provide healthful outlets for the emotion, pressure and automation of the work which awaits him. A student may well ask, Where does testing and exhausting the individual fit into this program? . The purpose of this is to provide the student with knowledge of himself-his physical limitations, his strength, his motor ability and his level of physical fitness. In our health program, we hope to educate the student toward a healthful life--how it is to be maintained and what ele- ments our in environment can disrupt it. With thisand with the study of physiology can come self-assessment in terms of health habits, diet, grooming, daily routine and the better understanding of those around us.
