hysical Fitness and dexterity. . it Pat Gooday, Sue Warfel, Cindy Xigogianis, Pat Liberty, and Kirma Pearce. ss - Demonstrating stunts in tumbling classes are Ann Calosio, Chris Wilson, Debbie Amold, and Nancy Mullen. 6 M Ai Basic movement is an important part of girl's training. Seen here are Bonnie Gatons and Becky Grazis using the jump ropes. The Physical Education Department works to develop sound bodies while the school develops sound minds. Being physically fit and healthy not only makes a student feel and act better, but also helps him to do better in his school studies. Physical fitness is as important as an academic class because a well-developed student is a student well developed in body as well as mind. The department builds physical stamina and strength in boys, while the girls develop poise, self-confidence, and control, Through the efforts of the physical education instructors the students of West are better prepared for the future world.

Art-uLife seen through a temperament? M Karen Kozma is working on scratchboard and design in Art V. In the art classes at J .T. West students have a chance to express their emotions and personalities through the media of sketching, painting, sculp- ture, wood carving, commercial art, and jewelry making. Aspiring artists or 'tjust interested pupils begin their cultural studies with Art I-II, a basic course in color harmonization, composi- tion, and techniques. and from there go into more advanced classes such as painting. These classes help students to develop individual and creative thinking while gaining a deeper apprecia- tion of their environment and perhaps a better understanding of that mystery-human nature. , L . Is this a shop class? Nope. Gerry Peterson and Ken Griffin are using the blow torch to solder together an art project.
