Bob Leigh, competent coach of the New Athens Yellow Jackets, is beginning his third year at NACHS. During the past two years his determination and guidance have accomplished much toward improving the athletic and recreational programs in New Athens. Much of his effort has been directed toward the addition and improvement of equipment and sports within the school. Trampoline, field hockey, hand ball, flicker ball, soccer, speedball, tennis, archery, and parallel bars are many of the activities he has introduced to NACHS students. The health class listens attentively as Coach Leigh explains the function of the muscles . . . Looks as if we have some candidates for the future Mr. Universe, heh, Moe . . . The 7th hour P.E. boys seem to have perfected their archery skills - look at all those bull’s-eyes! . . . Jump, boys, jump! Scrimmaging among themselves in P.E. class is very beneficial to the team . . . Coach Leigh critically watches the baseball players to see where improvement is needed. ROBERT D. LEIGH, B. S., M. A.

ScCuccUcott StuttuCatea Under the capable supervision of Miss Lands, the girls' physical education classes learn to build strong bodies along with strong minds. Each day throughout the year, the girls participate in posture correction, calisthenics, and recreational activities. This variety of activities keeps the students interested in the sports program. NACHS is one of the few schools in the surrounding area that can boast such a variety of sports. Through her determination, archery, soccer, badminton, shuffleboard, and tennis have been added to the girls' athletic program. 1-2-3-4 counts Miss Lands as die 3rd hour P.E. class does its daily exercises . . . Ready--aim—shoot--and the 5th hour P.E. class hits the bull's eye again . . . And now we will have the Miss America judgings--whoops!--this is just the 7th hour P.E. class having their posture tests . . . The 7th hour P.E. class is hurriedly trying to put up the tennis net . . . The 7th hour girls strap on their hockey equipment. BERNICE LANDS, B.S. of Ed.
