Physical Education Program... Girls in the physical education classes learn many different sports. They don't con- fine it to sports, however. Dancing, tumbling, and first aid are also taught the students. Here they are up in the air doing headstands. 12 Here Miss Mary Alice Sumrow, new P.E. instructor, is shown giving the girls a few pointers on tumbling. The girls seem to enjoy being up side down in these tumbling classes.

The newly organized Swing Choir gathers around the piano during club period to sing a few old favorites. This organization is another one added to the fast growing choral department. The Home-Economics department sponsors many projects such as cookie making, pie making, and dinners for the faculty. Here they are shown serving coffee to members of the faculty during their off periods. A new thing at McHi this year were the Chapel assemblies held at least once a month. They became quite popular with the student body. Here, two students interview Dr. William Clark, pastor of the First Methodist Church in McAllen. 11

That Appeals to Everyone... Boys Physical Education classes really get a work out under the direction of Coach Neil Hector. They do their warmup exercises on McHi's football field. Making like monkeys, these boys are really performing a muscle-building exercise in the gym. Both boys and girls use the gym on al- ternate days. Boys can participate in a well-rounded program every day. This weight lifting looks like it could break your back but these boys seem to be experts at it. Down, up; Down, up; more warm up exercises on the foot- ball field before a fast game of soccer. 13
