Physical Education Department Activates Students A gardener, a traveler, and an artist were just a few of the people, who, united by a common love of sports, taught physical edu¬ cation at Falls Church High School. Learning the fundamentals of baseball, gaining knowledge of traffic rules, dribbling, basketball, studying the parts of the brain, memorizing wrestling holds, all this kept the boys who participated in the P.E. program in a constant whirl. In addition to traditional activities, signifi¬ cant changes were noted throughout the department. Banged-up knees, Ben-Gay, and band-aids galore were just a few of the boys ' mixed reactions to the addition of soccer to the cur¬ riculum. Although very few of the boys knew much of the game they eagerly tackled the sport as if it were another opponent worthy ] of being conquered. The ladies taught the fundamentals of football with lively touch football games on the front lawn. At first rather skeptical, the girls soon discovered the strange magic of the game which had long attracted the boys. Not primarily concerned with building muscles, the girls saw further action on the tennis courts, developed grace and poise through modern dance and analyzed person¬ ality problems. All in all, the gym department did a great job of stimulating the competitive spirit of the students and teaching them the value of ’ sports. 29
