MILLIE MCMANUS, Supervisor of girls' P.E., re- ceived the BS degree from SMS and the MA from Illinois University. She sponsors Cheerleaders and Swimming Club. Greenwood, realizing that physical education is as important as mental education, has a well- planned program for all students. Four years of physical education are required. Certain physical fitness tests were to be passed -among them were push-ups, sit-ups, and chin- ning. Emphasis was placed on good sportsman- ship, health, and most of all-fun. Both boys and girls played volleyball, basket- ball, and badminton in the well-equipped gym. Outside, the boys played football and soccer, and the girls played soccer and practiced the art of archery. Senior high classes met twice a week after regular school hours, and junior high boys and girls alternated days meeting at eleven in the morning. This class really gives you a different outlook on life. In P.E. anything goes while waiting for the work to start, and these three girls fwe lbink there are three of themj rove that P being slothful can be fun. PHYSICAL EDUCAHON Ballet?

How did you like Paris last summer, Kathy? asks Buddy Free- man of Kathy King. Kenny Aiken adds, Could you really speak French well enough to make a Frenchman understand what you wanted? Spanish and French classes attracted many students at Greenwood the past year. French I students began the study of grammar, while Spanish II students went into the complicated art of conversation in a foreign language. Both classes not only helped strengthen the students in the use of the French or Spanish language, but also acquainted them with the peoples and customs of their respective countries. Movies and lectures by teachers helped make the study more realistic. Los amigos of the second year Spanish class study for their weekly vocabulary test. Words are being given by Gary Luna and Mary Laurenson, while Suzy Knabb and Chuck Sheppard listen carefully.
