The best golf team in Morton's history ended their sea- son with a 9-1-1 overall record, finishing sixth in the state. This was quite a feat considering that Morton's Suburban League record was 5-1-1 and Highland Park, New Trier, and Waukegan, all in the Suburban League also placed in the state competition. Before going downstate how- ever, the linksters, paced by Ernie Kolak, Pat Dorgan, and Steve Nester, walked oFf with their second straight district crown. Looking back over the season, the Mustangs started off sensa- tionally, winning their first five contests. Included in these de- feats was Highland Park, second in the state. The Mustangs then proceeded to lose to New Trier and tie Waukegan, constituting their only loss and tie of the sea- son. Winning the next five games easily, the varsity golf squad came through with their final 9-1-1 mark. Ernie Kolak demonstrates his technique as P- DUFEIHI1, L Fayette, J. Kath, S. Nester, J. Massey, and Coach P. R. Pavlinek look on.

GIRLS' P.E. DEPARTMENT. . . Sports have always been an integral part of education because they not only develop one's athletic proficiency but instill in a person the cjualities of good sportsmanship, honesty, and self-discipline. Realizing this, the Girls' Physical Education department has planned its athletic program. When a girl enters the physical education department in her freshman year, she is taught the basic fundamentals of soccer, speeclball, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Once a week she has swimming in the pool, and at this time various strolfes and dives are taught. Swimming is very important since a girl must receive her begin- ner's swim card in order to graduate from Morton. Dancing is taught in the foyer once a week, and this facet of physical education develops grace and rhythm. During her freshman year a girl will learn folk dances of various countries. Later she will participate in social dancing. Boys from the various athletic teams are recruited as partners. Exercises are taught to help improve posture and correct Hgure faults, Precision marching is also taught once a week in the foyer, and it's an important part of the course, The fundas mentals of first aid, home nursing, and driving are not neglected, for a girl will receive training in these courses during her four years at Morton, ln her sophomore year a girl may be recommended for a special gym class such as leadership, creative dancing, tumbling, or lifesaving. ln order to be recoinmenclecl for such a class a girl must be passing in all major subjects, possess the be ginner's swim card, and possess the athletic proficiency needed for such a course. A girl may further develop her athletic proficiency by joining one of the many clubs sponsored by the P. E. department, such as GAA., Intramural, Cheerleading, Creative Dance, and Tumbling. The big project which is sponsored annually by the girls' P. E. department is the Physical Education show. At this show various demonstrations of athletic prowess are shown, and each gym class competes to present its best. Also a trophy is awarded To The girl who has perfect posture, and this is a highlight of the show. lt is important to realize that both the girls' and boys' physical education departments contribute their talents to- this show. Thus at the end of her four years of physical education, a girl has learned concepts which have helped to mature her socially as well as physically. lhifji' 2-i6
