Each student who recalls his days as a sophomore can still hear those words, and remember having gym class at loast twice a week. This provides an outlet for all that stored energy, and proves to be a great help in bettering the athletic skills of many pupils. Phy Ed has its rigors. Any tenth grade student dreads Fridays, when thoso well-worn and fragrant outfits are taken homo for washing and a good airing out. Showers always prove to be a chore, too. Looking back on those days, all students agroe that between basketball, bowling, and the many other sports offered, gym was really lots of fun! LOOKS LIKE NO ONE can do them—push-ups. we mean. But Withrow's Phy Ed classes keep trying! ROLLER SKATING keeps these Phy Ed girl traveling in the best circles. Darlene Iskierka and Michealine Deminsky. gentlemen.

They may select algebra, plane geometry, or advanced algobra—usually with a trade in mind where practical application of math principles will promote trade skills.

ENTERTAINMENT of Mrs. Kwakkornaafs choir is provided by Miss Soonjo Shinn, daughter of the deon of the University of Korea. Vocational has music from top to bottom. Anyone who happens to be strolling past Room 405 around 7:30 A.M. may hear the choir tuning up. If band music is the preference, the next stop would bo down in the basement. Choir class is a sophomore subject, and tho all-school choir is Mrs. Kwakkernaat’s homeroom. Tho band is also an all-school organization, meeting third hour. Both groups get together during the spring to present an auditorium program for which they propare during the school year.
