Physical Education Promotes Wholesome Outlook Despite the moans and groans, over 40 girls proved that they were capable of passing all the rugged tumbling tests. As usual, bas- ketball, volleyball, and soccer ranked as the most popular activities. Girls in gym class demonstrate var i o u s tumbling maneuvers. Under the supervision of Mrs. Long- shore, the freshmen and juniors received their biennial physical checkups. Dr. Mc- Ghee made the general examinations, and Dr. Bovard handled the dental in- spections. Hearing tests administered by Mrs. Longshore pointed out the students with auditory difficulties. Later in the year, all seniors and freshmen had chest x-rays taken as a tuberculosis precaution. Dr. Bovard finds that true Pepsodent smile, Beverly Peterson has perfect teeth. Under Vic ' s guidance boys show the correct way to use the half nelson from referee ' s position on the mat. The boys ' gym is a place of bustling activity. The first half of the year was spent in developing co-ordination and he-man muscles; the second half, learning the funda- mentals of precision marching, wrestling and field and track.

Science Uncovers the Knowledge of Tomorrow With such a wide variety, general sci- ence, biology, composite science, chem- istry, and physics, almost everyone found a science that interested him. Many stu- dents were amazed to discover how fas- cinating the study of plants and bugs could be. When the chemistry classes made rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide) they were about t he only people in school who weren ' t bothered by the odor. Electricity, heat, inertia, and other elements of phys- ical science kept the physics students oc- cupied in intense study all year. The increased emphasis on science places greater importance on these courses for all students who hope to succeed in this scientific age. The Biological Bureau oi Investigation hunt for mi- nute protozoa. Chem students now and then flood the second floor with penetrating odors. Monty explains how a line perpendicular to a plane is perpendicular to all lines contained in a plain. Sim- ple, isn ' t it? Mathematics — the downfall of some students, the shining glory of others. Many who were not mathematically inclined stopped with Algebra I or general math; others fell by the wayside after the rigors of plane geometry; most of the remaining math students called it quits with Algebra II; hats off to the survivors who conquered Monty ' s trig and solid !

Music and Art Develop Cultural Appreciation Miss Donovan kept her art classes busy with various projects which in- clu ded making plaster of Paris and wooden plaq u e s , papier-mache faces and waste baskets. They also drew de- signs, did lettering, and made posters and Christmas cards. Miss Donovan explains how to put the finish- ing touches on papier- mache masks. A new instrument found a place in Kane High when Miss Dalrymple intro- duced the autoharp to her eighth and ninth grade music classes. With it she taught them chording and the underlying rhythm. In addition the students examined the piano and several other instruments to discover where the music comes from and why. Vocal music wasn ' t neglected, either, with emphasis placed on harmony singing. Sue strikes the chord on autoharp as the rest tune up for Jacob ' s Ladder. Woodwinds iron out musical difficulties in sec- tionals under the direction of Mr. Stewart. Weak spots in band and orchestra pieces were ironed out during Thurs- day sectional re- hearsals. The an- nual spring concert proved that the time spent in striving for perfection was most worthwhile.
