Physical Education Charles W. Wilkerson B. A. University of North Carolina Physical Education The physical education program is designed to provide an adequate physical basis for intellectual life. We strive to develop the physical body as a strong and healthy home for the mind; a strong spirit to endure difficulties of playing the game of life; to actively pursue those avocations that afford fun and offer an emotional escape. Our goal is to give society a useful citizen with sound fit¬ ness qu a 1 it i e s in p hy s i c al, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social health. Now that ' s your left foot--or is it your right?

Home Economics The family is the institution basic to all cultures. One of the goals of education is the preparation for per¬ sonal and family living. Homemaking education has always been concerned with the well being of individuals and families; therefore, it makes a unique contribution for intelligent and effec¬ tive family and community living. In the instructional program, ex¬ periences are provided which offer opportunity for participation in solving personal and family problems in re¬ lationships, management, housing, child development, goo d nutrition, clothing, and health. Emphasis is given to creating and appreciating beauty, to working to¬ gether democratically, to establishing values, to making intelligent choices, to managing resources--time, energy and money, and developing house¬ keeping skills.
