Phys Ed ' Promotes Good Health, Poise Although physical education is required for only one year, many students take it for four years. Classes for both girls and boys are in session every period throughout the day. Besides the class activities — calisthenics, apparatus, tumbling, and dancing — the girls also engage in intramural sports sponsored by Miss Theo Parr and Miss Elena Raglin. Intra- mural activities include basketball, volley ball, softball, archery, tennis, and badminton. In the spring, boys have an opportunity to participate .in the Decathlon Contest. Points are accumulated by mastering skills on the apparatus, in exercises, and in sports. Intra- mural sports, such as basketball and bowling, are sponsored by Mr. Gene Harvey. Demonstrating balancing skill, Linda Abrams, fourth year gym student, takes a walk on her hands. Helping to build strong bodies, Miss Theo Parr includes calisthenics in her class ' activities. 18

Busy Hands Create with Purpose After firing their pottery over night, Larry Stimson and Mike Vas Binder remove it from the kiln in Craft Class. Our Art Department offers many modes of self-expression to students with artistic talent. Shaping a bowl on the potter ' s wheel, sketch- ing still life, or dabbling in water colors are among the many opportunities for developing skill in art. In craft art cours es pupils work in plastics, leather, textiles, clay, and other media. Jewelry classes make cuff links, ear- rings, rings, bracelets, and other articles. The Art Production class, which originated in 1948 on a suggestion from Miss Gladys Denney who still teaches it, handles much of the art work for the school. In addition to the pro- duction of Senior Arm Bands, the class com- petes during the year in designing posters to advertise such programs as the Musical, Redskin Revue, and Senior Play.
