Students Keep Physically Fit with Games, Sports, Tests Often warming up with knee bends, jumping jacks, and sit-ups, the phys. ed. classes strive for physical fitness through sports and skill games. Tumbling, bas- ketball, kick-ball, volleyball, skill tests, and the not-too-popular laps around the gym help some discover new muscles and others wish they could forget some old ones. Swimming added a new feature to the program — and a new problem for girls with pouffy hairdos. Struggling with straggly locks in a steamy locker room forced some to make last minute dashes to the next class. ACTION BEGINS AS ref Tina Royce oversees a jump ball. Girls were also required to take written tests on rules. COMPETmON AND FRIENDLY rivalry set in as the boys break up into teams for relays. Tim Rochford eyes Ronald Gibson’s pass to Mike Woodward. 18

Business Training Prepares Students for Careers and Important Financial Decisions by Affording Practical Experience Bookkeeping, general business, busi- ness math, business machines, clerical procedures, and secretarial practice all develop qualifications for a job. Not on- ly this, but pave the way for busi- ness decisions that will have to be met in later life, such as figuring out in- come tax and balancing checkbooks. If a student is planning a career in this field, these courses give him actual practice by allowing him to figure out losses, profits, and overhead costs of companies by the use of kits, such as the Randall Wholesale Grocery Prac- tice Set. MAKING THOSE TOTALS come out exactly right busies Karen Eley with the adding machine. ■ ,v ffiflrr w A TURNING TO THE right page, the typing class prepares for another day of drill and practice. Day by day they build up to more speed with fewer errors. 17

CLASSROOM CONSULTATIONS SEEM to aid Laura Lieberman and Merrily Grams in their work with the newspaper. Learning Brings All Reactions from Many Individual Minds WAIT A MINUTE! Bewilderment halts Gary Cyganek’s progress and he hopes the teacher will repeat that again — slower. WITH NO TIME for frivolities like chairs, Linda Hensley rushes to get her new ideas down on paper. A school day finds many moods and emotions flitting across students’ faces as they go about their task — learning. Questioning looks over that geometry theorem, deep concentration on an Eng- lish theme, or a friendly discussion of the next day’s shorthand assignment — these are in evidence often, along with that rarer one, the sudden flash of un- derstanding that comes just when giving up looks inviting. Whatever their goals, students find the six hours spent in class pass quickly when they react to, and are changed by, new ideas.
