ELMO LINGREL .-X. B., Utterbein lliwfr'ff1,- of I2!l.llSfI'lll Ifr1lf1'uf1'on and Hvulfh Our full sports program would cer- tainly not have been so successful this year without the advice and guidance of Elmo Lingrel, director of the Physical Education, Health and Safety Program. It was Mr. Lingrel who took charge of the sale of tickets for all the various sports events. A new booth was built in the southeast corner of the gymnasium to take care of the many, many people who wished to buy tickets for basketball games, and Lingrel's supervision of the ticket sales during tournament season prevented the commotion which has prevailed in years past. Coach Lingrel spent a busy year maintaining health records, forming athletic schedules and purchasing all athletic equipment for M. H. S. and the elementary schools. Umm! What Muscles' 2

PHYSICAL EDUCATION . Our Girls Are Champs, Too. Oh, my aching back is a cry often heard from behind the doors at the end ofthe hall. Even though we complain about running the track and stand- ing on our heads, gym classes offer a diversion from our studies. We're sore for about a week, but we always recover. There's something about gym classes we just can't find in any other class fbesides the sprained ankles, I meanj. A spirit of sportsmanship and co- operation is developed from participation in the various physical activities. This is the beginning of what we call at M. H. S., fine teamwork.

MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE.. 0ops! Too Much! 77 -And My Conclusion ls That Two Plus Two Equal Four. Who will ever use algebra form- ulae but the quiz kids? Who will ever use chemistry but the guy who wants to blow up Uncle Harry? None of us will probably do either ot' these, but math and science do form the basis for many occupations that many of us will enter. But even il' we don't use them directly, they still give us a general understanding that often comes in handy in a tight spot. Whatcha See, Huh? Huh? Whatcha See? The housewife with science knows why her cake doesn't rise: the boy with physics can tell why his car stops dead: Mary quite contrary will know whv her garden grows if she studies her biology: the boy who knows his plane or solid geometry can tell you how high a tree is by just measuring the shadow: the algebra student knows how long it will take you to row upstream by just know- ing the speed ot' the current. Yes, we use our math and science every day without even knowing it. ibn
