HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION 'AAA ' fj, , Z,A rr Jef The Latin expression mens sana in cor- pore sano might well serve as the guiding principle for Bartram's Health and Physical Education Department, since Ha sound mind in a sound body is the goal of the curriculum. Health classes not only teach the structure and function of the human body, but also in- form students of the latest developments in personal hygiene, reproduction, nutrition, dis- ease-a voidance and a host of related subjects. The physical education program gives ev- eryone, regardless of size, weight, or sex, the opportunity to improve his strength, stamina, and general well-being. An important adjunct of this instruction is the sports program. All students are given the chance to learn a life- time sport that may be pursued into middle age and beyond. ln addition, the interscholas- tic sports program is second to none in the area Bartram can always be counted upon to field teams whose performance invariably takes them to the top levels of every competition.

SCIENCE 4423? Maria Whiting, Department Head -v -as-4 'Z' With the new space programs, test-tube babies, and the proliferation of computer technology, the Science Department of John Bartram High School is more exciting than ever. The dedicated staff is always motivating students to discover and ex- plore new theories and ideas in biology, chemistry, and physics. Because of its obvious impact on our present society, computer technology is being given priori- ty in the many phases of science instruction. Sever- al staff members have applied for grants to purchase computer hardware, as well as the neces- sary software. The materials will be used in science classes to increase computer literacy, to enrich biological courses, and to help students with the more difficult concepts in chemistry through simu- lations, drill, and review. Many activities such as the Washington Carver Science Fair, Student Energy Day, National Com- puter Program Contest, Thomas EdisonfMax McGraw Scholarship, Energy Clubs, and the Bio- medical Science Programs keep the department buzzing. There is conhdence that John Bartram High School graduates will be among the best-prepared students in science. They will have the ability to pursue careers in engineering, computer science, medicine, allied health professions, nursing, or pure scientitic research as a result of the determi- nation, dedication, and commitment of the science staff Joseph Starlnleri Fred Weiss Carl White - Walton Wills 27
