Students Develop Body And Mind In P. E. This must be fun, they can hardly wait. One, two, three, four - over and over again. The physical education programs were designed to help students develop their mind and body through exercise and health educa- tion. Early in the fall, and again in the spring, physical fitness tests were given each student. The use of body building equipment and calis- thenics improved coordination and strength while stimulating student interest in the many activities of the department. Health courses in prevention and cure of disease, first aid, drugs, and other health problems were included. A Forestry Warden taught a series of lessons on firearms in the boy's classes. Driver's training was taught in the classroom and fourteen hours of behind-the-wheel training given to those eligible. Juniors and seniors were able to take P. E. as an elective. This was a welcome break for many from the mental strain of academic classes. On cold winter days, volleyball gives plenty of exercise. 24
