New Concepts in Physical Education Jean Smith flies high on the trampoline. Enthusiastic shouts resounded from the walls of the gymnasium as students adapted themselves to the new concepts in physical education. On the basis that physical education should develop each student's physical potential, a wide range of activities was offered. Handball and a basic course in Judo were added this year to volleyball, basketball, tennis, softball, and golf. Physical education, taught by lVlr. Charles Radich and lVlrs. Martha Vartorella, is required of freshmen and sophomores. One semester of the sophomore year is devoted to a basic health course, achieving a better understanding of the mind and body. Knowledge and skills attained in this course will benefit students in later life to maintain mental health and good physical condition. Lewis Dennis, Guy Burdue, and Jeff Ward are working on the horse with lVlr. Radich assisting. A deputy from the Huron County Sheriff's Department is talking to health class on drug abuse.

Girls Learn Homemaking Skills Home economics depart- ment sought to reflect current trends in fashion, both in clothing and homemaking, by adding two new courses which were knitting and crocheting. Home economics, taught by Mrs. Rosemary Finnen and Miss Linda Friend, branched into three different areas, re- gular home economics, practical home economics, and family living. Practical home economics was a course of- fered to students having some skills, but no formal courses in home economics. Family living was a course offered to senior boys and girls wishing to achieve a general knowledge of planning and caring for a home and family. Miss Karen Smith, senior, won the Betty Crocker Home- maker of Tomorrow Contest as the girl with the most out- standing homemaking skills ac- quired through home eco- nomics class.
