Michael Martone Boys' Gym Suzanne Stethers Girls' Gym Marion Huxley Girls' Gym Richard Stipano Boys' Gym physical education The goal of the physical education department at M.H.S. is to have each student develop a sound mind and body. Al- though ability is important, sportsmanship and effort play a major part in the department's plan for the physically fit student. M.H.S. is indeed fortunate to have a fine swimming pool and excellent facilities in its spacious fields and well-equipped gym. To say the department has a new look is a fine way of expressing the addition of two new teachers, and the introduction of an extensive five-day program for most students. O, what may man within him hide, though angel on the out- ward side! Coach Stipano's gym class take their positions on the soccer field. 28

business The world today is one that requires efficient businessmen and alert and accurate secretaries and stenographers. The field is so vast and varied that students must acquire cer- tain basic skills if they are to achieve success in a world of thrift and competition. To prepare students for such a world, courses are offered in shorthand, typing, office practice, bookkeeping, introduction to business, business law, secretarial practice, business math, and business re- tailing.
