PHYSICAL EDUCATION Ms. Bilicki £ 1 f W Mr. LaFave To make the gym locker rooms desirable, many im- provements were made. Some improvements in- cluded the carpeting, and removal of old lockers in the boys locker room and the painting of both lock- er rooms. Also another P.E. im- provement, to the plea- sure of both the teach- ers and the students, was the separation of the ninth grade boys’ and girls’ gym classes.

The students showed this effort and ability in the projects they com- pleted. Book shelves and storage units were constructed for the elementary, middle, and high schools by the shop classes. Students completed indivi- dual projects like paper towel racks, picture frames, gun racks, lamps, table; and speaker cabinets. Some money for Industrial Arts needs was earned during the annual shop raffle. Mr. Lesinski said the effort was “successful.” Students made the prizes and sold the tickets.
