Mrz Robert Simmons Mr. Michael Crist Glndanrz' Counselor, Physical Ed., Health Junior High Sound physical development creates a body in which the mind can work more cfhciently. Mars has found that through mental and physical developmentg the molding of a more complete individual is achieved. By dividing the junior and senior high into two separate guidance departmentsg it was possible for the guidance counselors to give each student individual attention. Mr. Robert Simmons provided guidance for thc junior high pupils and Mr. Eugene Danser aided the senior high students. Under competent instructiong the student acquires physical skills which can be a source of pleasure and accomplishment. In addition to learning the basic fundamentals of all sports, the boys and girls are taught rules of sportsmanship and co-operation under the supervision of Mr. Michael Crist, Mr. Paul Douds, and Mrs. Darlene Wcinzetl. Mr. Crist and Mr. Douds also teach senior health classes which are compulsory for graduation. The classes present the student with all aspects of physical and mental health. MR.

A student taking these subjects is offered a semester or more in metal work, plastics, or mechanical drawing. Having at their disposal modern safety equipment, the students reveal their abilities by the products they turn out, All precautions are taken with the machinery and tools. Every boy must know how to use the equipment and must pass safety tests to be qualified to operate it. The experiences the students have had in the shop pro- gram may be useful to them in the later life, either as a trade or in the home workshop. Seventh grade boys are required to take one year of wood shop. This serves as an introduction to the entire Industrial Arts program. The specific objectives are to teach hand tools, safety, the jig-saw, drill press, and mortising machine.
