Midmorning backache, upset stomach, headache and neuralgia were but a few of the symptoms resulting from those bi-annual terrors, the Physical Fitness Tests. These tests put P.E. students through a rugged schedule of runs, jumps, pulls and throws. The test results were then compared to the averages in the nation, illustrating each individual’s particular strengths and weaknesses. The required sophomore and freshman P.E. classes concentrated on group sports. While developing physical health in these sports, the students also learned the necessity of knowing how to work with other people. On alternating days, Driver’s Education and First Aid Instruction are given to the freshmen, while Health is taught to sophomores. Fridays are reserved for special activities such as co educational volleyball. Juniors and seniors are not barred from P.E., however. In a combined elective course, the emphasis switched from group to individual spoits. The quality of our athletes reflected the effectiveness of these courses. The Athletic Department was pleased to welcome Mr. DeGiorgi as its new director, a post left open when Mr. Morton moved up to the position of Assistant Principal. Mr. DeGiorgi was particularly pleased with the school spirit displayed throughout the year, as he was with the entire athletic program. Mr. Duvall plans some pre-game strategy.

During these periods Mr. Lee directs with a firm hand everything that is necessary to put on a good play: costumes, scenery, lighting and the actual acting. Through Mr. Lee’s efforts each year, the Drama Department produces a one act play and a spring musical. Public Speaking, also part of the Drama Department, helps the student improve his voice control and diction. The spring musical, of course, couldn’t exist without music and who but our Mr. Dubin, Miss Green and Mrs. Crider could combine students’ talents into the successful performance our musical always is. The Choral Department, which consists of the Choir, the Mixed Chorus, the Girls Chorus and the Madrigals, teaches vocally inclined students how to use their voices for something other than talking in classes. Add a little rhythm from Mr. Dubin and his band, and presto—a real swinging show! What does it take to create a masterpiece in art? Talent? Good pastels? Monstrous blocks of marble? No! Students in Stuart’s Art Classes will tell you that you need only a vivid imagination and any materials from junk to jewelry. Our art teachers, Miss Smith and Mr. Enright, gave the students art fundamentals, instructing them in the traditional media of pastels, oils, water colors, clay and copper wire. The Art III and IV students went to the Guggenheim, Metropolitan and Whitney museums and the Museum of Modern Art in New York to further enhance their classroom education. Such trips and the excellently planned art programs helped not only to make our school more attractive, but to inspire our future Picassos.
