PHYSICAL EDUCATION Primary During the second semester the Y.M.C.A. cooperated with our school to provide an excellent physical education program. The majority of our students were members of the Y and Mr. Freddie Branham, full time Program Director of Y activities, provided us an excellent program. He met with grades one through eight three times a week for instruction. The students of the school have really enjoyed soft-ball, kickball, tumbling and trampoline activities. At the beginning of school, Mrs. Lovett directed the physical education program. We are looking forward to a more extensive program next year. Jr. High School 12

LANGUAGE Spanish LEFT TO RIGHT - Teacher Mrs. Hidy, Willis Boykin, John Larkin. Through the study of language, much can be learned about other ways of life, and this is the first step to- ward international understanding, and eventually world peace. Joseph Kershaw Academy is one of the few schools which has recognized the importance of this knowledge with an intensive Spanish program beginning in the third grade for all students. The Spanish vocabulary and grammar are offered along with the history and customs of the various Spanish speaking countries. Latin Left to right - STANDING: Ruth Boykin, Cathy Creed, Meta Beard, Pud West, Ted Parker, Mrs. HalL Latin I was offered this year for the first time to the seventh and eighth grades of Joseph Kershaw Acad- emy. This was the first year any of us had had Latin. Mrs. Irma Hall, our teacher, introduced us to the so-called dead language and proved it to be far from dead . All of us thoroughly enjoyed our introduction to Latin and anxiously look forward to continuing it next year.

ACTIVITIES Student Council ROW I - OFFICERS: Pud West, Betty Wooten, Katherine Marsh, Willis Boykin, Robbie Rhett, Susan Freitag. ROW II - Anne duPont, Jean Wooten, John Cushman, Judy Maddox, Connie West, Becky Hasty. The student council of Joseph Kershaw Academy has been a fantastic success! Through the year we have accomplished a great deal: a school store run by the 6th grade: pictures, that turned out to be a master-stroke; and this annual, the outcome of which is unknown. Although officers of our student council came from grades 5—8, there were representatives from all grades. Officers of 1965--66 were as follows: President: Pud West; Vice-President: Betty Wooten; Secre- tary: Katherine Marsh; Treasurer: Willis Boykin. Newly elected officers for 1966-67 are: President: Pud West; Vice-President: Salley Boykin; Secretary: Lynn Lovett; Treasurer: Connie West. We, the members and officers of the Student Council, are indebted to Mrs. Elva Pitsenbarger, without whose help and guidance the Student Council may not have accomplished as much as it did. Safety Patrol ROW I: Officers: Salley Boykin, LeRoy Boykin, Ruth Boykin, William Wannamaker, Linda Smith, Cathy Creed. ROW II: Newton Boykin, David Mickle, Lynn Lovett, John Larkin, Ginger Boykin, Preston Wanna- maker. Joseph Kershaw Academy has had an active Safety Patrol. Mr. Bill Roscoe helped us to organize and furnished the members of our patrol with safety belts and badges. We are grateful to him for his assist- ance. Officers elected for this year were: Co-Lieutenants, Salley Boykin and LeRoy Boykin and Sergeant- Secretary, Ruth Boykin. Officers for next year are: Captain. Ruth Boykin and Sergeant-Secretary, Ginger Boykin. The fourteen pupils who served faithfully on Safety Patrol held their assignments for two weeks, then, after a furlough, duty was again assigned to them. The high-light of this assignment was the picnic enjoyed by the members on May 25th at the Ker- shaw County Park.
