Ahead the mountains may loom steep and rocky - or the pathway may be narrow and lonesome - or the tasks may seem formida- ble. But these seniors will face the future with faith, courage, and the determination to succeed, always pursuing the rainbow that someday may become reality and a dream fulfilled.

Man is an active creature, and activ- ity is essential for his growth, development, and survival. But physical fitness is more than the muscular development which comes from exercise. In a fitness program, phy- sical education---as distinct from physical training---seeks the integrative develop- ment of the whole man. It is as concerned with his ethics as with his physiology. It should offer those experiences which demand thinking, which require the student to weigh and reflect, to consider the consequences of his actions. from American Journal of Public Health Seventh grade girls practicing basketball skills on outdoor courts.
