Department Stresses Physical Fitness “Three laps around the gym. Let’s move! Don't lag!” This is an all too common directive from Hall’s three physical education instructors: Miss Goetz, Mr. Pienta, and Mr. Premer. Through their guidance and supervision, the students at Hall learn to develop their physical potentialities to the fullest. President Kennedy believed that a strong America depended on people who are physically fit in mind and body. At Hall, special care is taken to see that each student is in the best physical condition possible. The different P.E. classes meet once each day to engage in a varied curriculum of activities ranging from exercises to badminton, basketball, or swimming. All help to keep the students fit, at the same time developing a good sense of fair play. The physical education department plays an important part in the development of the students. The girls engage in an active game of alley cageball. ETHEL GOETZ Physical Education B.S., Eastern Illinois U. G.A.A.. Cheerleading 26
