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.
