JACK CONLEY PHYSICAL EDUCATION HELPS DEVELOP SELF-COORDINATION - Mr. Boys' Physico I Education Hanson and Phy. Ed. class. Athletics Physical Education President Kennedy's stress on a national physical fitness program has now led to a more complete and unique physical education program at FLHS. Part of this fitness program was a national physical fitness test which was administered to all students enrolled in the course. The purpose of this test was to determine how much physical ability and vitality each individual stu- dent possessed. These results were then compared with those of students across the nation. •one HANSON |n orcjer to help keep the body physically fit, to give the Girls' Physical Education student more physical activity, and to develop self- coordination, this program is a required course for all stu- dents in grades 7—10. Much more emphasis is now being placed on individual conditioning instead of team sports. Much of the course involves getting the student ac- quainted with the various sports and having him learn the rules and regulations of each. Sportsmanship and individual work make up a large portion of the student's grades. Also this year, student teachers assisted with the course. The main purpose of this was to aid those extremely interested in athletics in deciding whether or not to make this a further vocation.
