Among the required courses a student must have to graduate from Jefferson are four years of physi- cal education. Our physical education department has three main objectives: to provide opportunities for participa- ' tion in physical activities that will result in educa- tional experiencesg to develop the organic systems of the body so that each student may live at his highest levelg and to develop skills in activities with favorable attitudes toward play that will carry over into future careers and leisure hours.
