Phys. Ed. Offers Exercise, Health, and Just Plain Fun The importance of the student’s physical fit- ness has never been underestimated at Lincoln High. Physical Education classes expose the student to various sports and activities, relieving the pres- sure of classroom study and enabling him to have fun while remaining fit. The excellence of Lincoln High’s physical education program is made evident by the school’s constant high scoring on the Na- tional Physical Fitness Test. Health Education emphasizes the importance of sound physical, mental, and emotional health. Through lectures and audio-visual aids, the stu- dent is given guidelines for a healthier life.

Student Toward Safety Lyle Weyand Department Chairman Concessions Max Lien Andy Loehr Auditorium Events Varsity Football Coach Reserve Wrestling Coach Donovan Luedke Richard Terry Auditorium Events Special Assignment Coordinator-SCTS Athletics Driver Education Steers With more and more teenage drivers on the roads, a sound driver education program is a must in any school. Lincoln High has met this require- ment by offering the student a full-time staff of Driver Education instructors and by making the most modern of training equipment available. Under the program, the student spends part of his time in the classroom and part behind the wheel. Driver Education cars are equipped with safety brakes for the instructor and timing de- vices that test the student’s reaction time and stopping distance. A new device was added this year, the jerkometer,” which tests the smoothness of the student’s starts and stops. Auto simulators give the inexperienced pupil a chance to familiarize himself with the fine points of safe driving under ideal conditions. Numerous films are provided and the student is urged to do optional research in traffic laws and enforcement, and in the field of car insurance. Sara Luedke demonstrates the use of a floor shift on one of the school's automobile simulators. 26
