RANDALL NORTHROP Coaching Physical Instruction And Body In physical education, students started the year in the well-known sport of softball and ended the year trying golf, In between these, students learned and played volleyball, ping- pong, deck tennis, gymnastics, wrestling, bas- ketball, tennis and speedball, There was also time for the sometimes dreaded physical fitness tests, Hard work was a known factor in physical education training, but there was fun, too, since P,E, was a break from the everyday routine of regular classwork. The athletic program at DHS also played an important part in the physical fitness of the students, RONALD .IESSEN Physical Education, Coaching PATRICIA JACOBS Physical Education NORMAN MITTS Coaching
