Physical Education Expanded Activities Girls in sky blue gym suits and boys in loose, light blue shorts and red and blue T-shirts stretched, bent, and strained during the year in physical edu- cation classes. After five minutes of exercises the boys became team members in such games as soccer, basketball, or water polo. lunior and senior girls par- ticipated in elective activities ranging from slimnas- tics to golf. Students of all ages ended the year with aching muscles but improved physical condition. Robin Beyers spent many gym classes at the parallel bars practic- ing pulling her legs together and pointing her toes to succeed in skill tests. Linda Dohman witnessed a frequent mishap of badminton, as Marilyn Miller hit the birdie straight up to the gym's rafters. The gym class wrestler in the down posi- tion recorded two points as soon as he finished his reversal.

Perseverance Solved Math Puzzles After having new concepts presented to him, the perplexed math student went home. There, scratch outs, scribbling, and frustration forced the if . . . then . . . method of proof to make his mind reason logically. Suddenly his ideas fell into a valid pattern, which formed the solution set. His tired, but beaming face sym- bolized his extreme elation in finally achieving his goal. Dan Dedrick grafted the parabola y:x1 to help his ad- vanced math class understand the function.

In the drafting room the audible hum of the blue-print machine and the stifling smell of ammonia, along with the snapping of pencil leads, indicated that student engineers and architects had also begun work. At 2:49 the power was cut, sawdust settled, and drawing machines were again hung neatly in place as the wheels and gears of Nicolet's Industrial Arts Department ground to a halt. Draftsman leff Roozen carefully piloted his 4H pencil across a half-sectioned drawing of Plate 8 titled Hood Bearing.
