Such sports as basketball, touch football, soccer, golf, archery, track and field, gymnastics, and tennis were enthusiastically played by many students. In addition to giving physical en- ergy, tenth graders divided mental energy between driver education and health, while eighth and ninth graders apportioned cranial energy between health and first aid. The intramural program consisted of mixed bowl- ing leagues. Boys also enjoyed homeroom basketball after school. The series of games was climaxed by a championship game. Dad's Night every month was the highlight of the program, with fathers and sons together striving for physical excellence. Beginning-of-the-year aches and pains rewarding- ly culminated in physical fitness. Through both indi- vidual and team efforts, students found satisfaction through participation. Oscar Kuhn Frank C.

50 Smiling happily, Miss Margaret Copenhaver works industri- ously to prepare books for their places on the shelves. Library Traditional and Futuristic Are Successfully Unified To the library's already modern facilities the li- brary staff made additions to meet the demands of both present and future. A section of current and classical paper-backs became a permanent fixture. Educational Television, a library-sponsored experi- ment, was enjoyed in history classes throughout the school. Additional audio-visual, listening, and re- cording equipment was offered, broadening the scope of material teachers presented to their class- es and making special projects more stimulating. Traditional aspects were also enlarged. The fa- miliar shelves of hard-back books carried a heavier load. The magazine racks continued to carry the newest issues of favorites. Back dated periodicals were available upon request. New additions strengthened the reference section, especially des- ignated for special research. With the effective mingling of modern and tradi- tional, the library housed not only answers, but the provocation of better questions. With Mary Jones, library assistant, Herbie Daniel observes the first addition to the extra library shelves, newly designated for original art work by Wythe students.
