USING A DRILL PRESS, Terry Maryniw puts the finishing touches on salt and pepper shakers made in industrial arts. ' Practical arts and business Preparing to meet the problems of the home and busi- ness world, students enrolled in industrial arts, home economics, and business courses. In these classes busy hands and minds worked at learning skills and methods that would help them find jobs easily and also assume home duties with know-how. Printing classes were an indispensable part of the school as they prepared and printed the many forms, programs, and tickets used throughout the year. While mechanical drawing students struggled with dividers, angles, and T-squares, the other indus- trial art shops built sets for the senior plays and found satisfaction completing many other projects. Business students in distributive education class- es spent part of their day working at outside jobs. Other projects of the year included a commercial law class visit to Cook County Court. The experience gave students a richer meaning to what had been discussed in class. MECHANICAL DRAWING student William Purvis receives aid from Mr. Roger Wendorf as Randall Noe, Don Szczesny, and Tony Nash work on.

Physical education emphasizes fair play and sportsmanlike conduct Physical education to Kelvyn Park students has taken on a new meaning. No longer is it considered only a time of recreation and diversity, but it is also a way to carry out one of the hopes of the late President john F. Kennedy. President Kennedy stressed physical fitness because he knew that if we were in good health we would get more out of life and be able to contribute more to it. Gym classes offer volleyball, basketball, swim- ming, and numerous gymnastic exercises that build physical fitness to put an end to the flabby American. Health, driver education, and ROTC classes are also available to the students to complement their education. The football, basketball, and baseball teams also come under the jurisdiction of the physical education department. As members of these teams boys learn the importance of fair play and sportsmanlike conduct.
