All students at Kelvyn Park must have at least one year of art and music. Interested music students may continue their studies by enrolling in the girls' or mixed chorus, band, and orchestra. This year plans were made to start a marching band. Proceeds made from a Harlem Globetrotter-Alumni game Went toward the purchase of uniforms.

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. EXECUTING a bird's nest in gym class, Robert Maziarka shows his classmates how to build coordination and muscles. BUILDING STRONG BODIES is as necessary as forming strong minds. Here Mrs. Louise Welker works with the girls in a set of physical eicercises.

EXCITEMENT MOUNTS as Judi Shermack, Roger Williams, and Richard Kirschke announce the voting results from each division. School goes all the wa 'lWi1l the state of Alabama please cast its votes for the President of the United States ? With these words the race was on, and tension mounted as votes were counted during Kelvyn Park's Mock Election held October 23 in the school's assembly hall. Representatives from each division cast the elec- toral votes of the state they represented. Before the final votes were in, however, it was evident that Lyndon B. Johnson was going to be victorious. The final count gave the President 1,325 popular votes and 116 elec- toral votes. Barry Goldwater won 335 popular votes and no electoral votes. Under the skillful direction of Mr. Joel Samaha and with the help of students from contemporary history classes, the Mock Election gave students valu- able insight into the workings of a national election. Many hours of hard work and debate and thought went into the makings of the successful Mock Election.
