The dance studio room is lined with mirrors and ballet bars. The exercise and body building room is equipped with its own gymnastics facilities, whereas in the past, the women had to share the men's equipment. The department chairman said they were working on getting a whirlpool and training table for the first aid room to avoid having to move injured students to the Men's Gym for temporary treatment. The women's physical education program has been enlarged since the opening of the gym and is expected to grow even more. Miss Mulkey said, l think to take advantage of our facilities we really need another instructor. This would also help us with the after-school activities. The department has an increased enrollment this semester, along with adding several new classes. Table tennis and ballethave been added to the curriculum and plans to incorporate a tumbling and trampolene class are in the formative stages. Al- though not a direct result of the new facility, surfing and bowling classes are also new to the P.E. curriculum this year. The gym has opened up three inside classes, where previously we only had one, which has helped us as far as dance, badminton, gymnastics, self-defense and body contour classes, said Miss Mulkey. This is very important, what with the problems occurring on the streets today. An archery equipment room has been added to enhance the department, This is located on the east side of Ethel Avenue. The walk-through equipment room will allow students to approach the archery field from behind the firing lines, thus providing better safety. The new Women's Gym is not only closer to the heart of the campus, but it can now offer a tailored curriculum to fit the needs of the students. Along with all the benefits of the gym, Miss Mulkey points out, It's neat to be on this side of the campus with everybody else. Monarchs find it easy to spot their badminton birdies in the district's only purple gym. l l i 5 O Q 'Y - A, 4 5 J l . . . l Impressive brick work outlines the New Women's Gym, only to be matched by the , comparable impressiveness of the gym's interior. y i l . ,Li l':iig, f- 18'LE ii, .tF.'QQ -E .

Michael Ray Steele, 25 and Charles Nash, 21, along with the aid of other Monarch gridders, make a clear runway for quarterback Jeff Robinson. ehlnd . the Scrimmage B V e F' Y an 553 man Howie Neftin left and Hari Starks right practice ' Illustrated by Robert Lachman After the second gridder clash of the season, Greg Baltad walked out of the Monarch's locker room with traces of victory streaking his face, Loaded down with his tote bag and the pressure of knowing they could possibly become No. 1, he carried an even heavier load in the weight of a promise. A plaque protruded indiscretely from under his arm and read, Life is tough. You get knocked down, you pick yourself up. You get knocked down, you pick yourself up-you pick yourself up. He explained that the inscribed doctrine dominated his philosophies, when applied to football and his life in general, as much as to the personality of the man, behind the words. The man was the late Bob Binder, a former football coach of Baltad's while he attended Canoga Park High School. Binder, a former Valley College graduate and center on the 1957 Valley College Championship Football team, was the incentive behind his enrollment at Valley College. Among the countless things demanded of a serious football player, the sophomore explained that Binder was instrumental in teaching him a successful method of facing and overcoming defeat. Through Binder's teachings, Baltad is the living proof of a dedicated and competent football player, who borders on the Linebacker Louis Debose contemplates play strategy during daily workouts.
