Physical education students, through both indoor and outdoor activity, acquired skills, sportsmanship, and stamina. On warm days, the physical education students played hockey, baseball, or football. During the winter, gymnastics, volleyball, bowling, and wrestling were the main areas of activity. In spring, the students were taught health, first aid, and driver education.

The Study Of Languages Opened New Doors FOREIGN LANGUAGE New cultures, new customs, new ideas . . . These are the doors the language teacher opens to his students. Another world, another way of communicating can be seen through these doors. This year language classes had the opportunity to frequently talk with native speakers. The Spanish Club visited a restaurant where members spoke in Spanish and tasted Spanish food. In November, French students attended a bazaar at “The French Church”, where they spoke with French people, enjoyed the French cuisine, and saw a sampling of goods for sale. Through these and similar experiences, students acquired real insight into the differences and similarities among cultures, and learned the importance of understanding others. I Mr. D.
