TED URA Health and Physical Education Coach, Football and Baseball l r I I I Aware of the emphasis that the late President John F. Kennedy put on youth fitness, the PHYSICAL EDUCATION DE- PARTMENT planned a variety of sport and physical activities. The girls seemed to find learning to dance the Alley Cat, Cha-cha, Rhumba, Waltz, and Fox Trot the most exciting part of the year. The boys took to water with the greatest enthusiasm. Learning the basic strokes-the dog swim, the overhand, the back stroke, and advanc- ing to safety iumping and diving held much interest for most. The study of Health in both classes emphasized care of infants, first aid, and the purifying process of water.
