A Break for Fitness Mr. J. Baker, Miss J. Poley, Miss J. Levinson, Mr. J. Jones. :-- 11- ,.,.:, af Ha tk- rw ,. RW so ,fit --.- While the corridors are cloaked in silence, grunts, groans, cheers, and jubilant voices can be heard echoing through the gym. The gym . . . a haven for the athletes and purgatory for the less agile. Here students forget their pressures long enough to enjoy a variety of athletic activities such as springing on the trampoline, hockey, volleyball, basketball, bad- minton and new this year- square dancing. Besides, group participation provides the students with the oppor- tunity to learn the rules of good sportsmanship and the basic skills of most sports. ln fulfilling the theory that a healthy body promotes a healthy mind, a physical fit- ness program has been in- stituted at LCS. Every fall and spring, students take physical fitness tests, which are used for national com- parison. Intramurals and interscho- lastic sports provide enjoy- ment, competition and activ- ity for those who wish to further their athletic abilities outside of regular classes. my, I can't be drafted.

How Every year brings a need for many more qualified personnel in the field of business. The Commercial Department pre- pares Liberty students for the many busi- ness opportunities awaiting them. The di- versified program includes these courses: typing and shorthand I and ll, record- keeping, business math, transcription, busi- ness law, bookkeeping, and general busi- ness. Emphasis is placed on using the most up-to-date equipment available. Teachers, Dorothy Neumann and Hannah Calhoun, who is retiring after many years of dedi- cated service, encourage students to learn by doing. For example, students enrolled in recordkeeping operate the school book- store, while the typists show their skills by working for the teachers. Mr. K. Lyle To Succeed Mrs. D. Neumann, Mrs. H.

With the ever increasing number of cars on the road, and the high accident rate, a driver's training course is highly recommended for all students learning to drive. Under the direction of Mr. Lyle, students not only learn the practical skills of driving, ,but also facets essential to motor safety.

Planning For Tomorrow Perhaps the most difficult decisions that a youth has to make are those involving his future educational or career plans. Available to assist the students in making such de- cisions is the Guidance Department. As an important liaison between school and parents and faculty and students, the guidance per- sonnel makes sure that every graduating stu- dent has made after graduation plans. Voca- tional tests and interviews sometimes aid the uncertain student by pointing out his po- tential in particular areas whether educa- tional or vocational. Not only are the guid- ance personnel interested in the future plans of the student, but also his relationships with the faculty and his peers and his growth toward becoming a responsible school citizen.
