O.C,T.A. Rep. Keen competition and good, clean fun were the chief reasons why physical edu- cation was one of the most popular sub- jects in school. In physical education, students enjoyed much freedom, more than in most other classes. Students refereed and s c o r ed their games, played popular sports, and chose their own teams. Self-direction was encouraged to de- velop initiative. Understanding and help- ful supervision was provided by the P. E . teachers who were always nearby. Rules and techniques of all gamesplayed during the year were emphasized, giving students an opportunity to understand and enjoy the games more thoroughly, Although the popularity of physical edu- cation tended to apply mostly to the boys who played football, baseball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, and basketball, girls discovered many of the same sports to be interesting and exciting. Basically sim il ar in objectives, the boys' and girls' classes stressed the im- portance of co-operation, good sp o rts - manship, and team play.

MUSIC MZ' 13 fkzxiwkzg al may Music, the international language, has e nab 1 e d students to find pleasure in the cultural and aesthetic avenues of educa- tion. This was provided through the band, chorus, m usic appreciation, and music theory classes. N e ar l y an indispensable p a rt of the school, the band, dressed in their new unl- form s, performed at various assemblies and concerts and provided spirited music at pep rallies and football games. In choir classes emphasis was placed on the study of good choral literature and folk- lore, voice production, and the development of proper diction and posture. Expert b asic training was offered all band and chorus members, many of whom found they possessed talent and seriously considered careers in m us ic. All were exposed to the finer points of music in both classical and contemporary musical ar- rangements. 'Ifhosewhowere musically inclined found in their music cl as s e s opportunities to exploit their talents toward a richer and more enjoyable personal life. RICHARD LUM DEPT. CHAIRMAN C m. Rel. Comm.

AGRICULTURE 2 be iz fy fzhfizg Why do students take agriculture? ls it because they think it's easy a.nd don't have to study? Students this year were surprised to find that it involves much more than that. In agriculture, students were taught fundamentals in irrigation, fertilization, Spraying, harvesting, and marketing. Horticulture, simple plumbing, and poul- try farming were also taught by Thomas Feiteira and Douglas Sakamoto as part of this seemingly easy course. Following their slogan, 'We learn by doing, the classes were taught largely through experience and personal observa- tions. They also learned through demon- strations, field trips, lectures, and ex- periments. The agriculture classes served many purposes. Primarily, they provided op- portunities for qualified students who planned to continue their formal educa- tion and enabled all students to obtain a sound background in agriculture. In ad- dition, the agriculture classes served the school by helping to maintain the beauti- fication of the campus. THOMAS FEITEIRA DEPT, CHAIRMAN Pl nt Development Comm. Guidance Comm.
