INDUSTRIAL AND FINE ARTS The wide scope of subjects offered of an industrial nature often influences Murphy students to choose a definite vocation and to learn the fundamentals while in high school. The industrial arts courses develop manual skill, creative thinking, and most important, initiative. The fine arts courses are offered to students with natural talent and creative ability. In working with the tools of the artistic trade, they develop the basic skills and gain experience. These skills and experiences contribute vastly to the measure of art appreciation by the student.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION At Murphy, emphasis is placed on improving physically as well as mentally, and to achieve this, two years of physical education are required. Students are not graded on physical progress as much as on good sportsmanship, spirit of teamwork, and willingness to co-operate. Health habits are encouraged, and the enjoyment of the game is taught as well as the fundamentals of the game. Physical Education students have the use of two well equipped gyms and an indoor pool. The gyms have tumbling equipment and basketball and indoor recreational equipment. Outdoors are a football field, baseball diamonds, tennis and volleyball courts, an archery range, soccer field, and track. MR.
