0 0 Physical fitness is as important as mental fitness. Seventh through eleventh graders learn good sportsmanship in gym classes. The girls learn everything from Spanish dances to the all-American game of touch football. Boys also play a wide variety of games including football and basketball. Students have a chance to catch up on assignments during study period. It is a welcome break when homework piles up and when there are tests to study for.

All year the sounds of noisy machines echoed through the school and good smells drifted from the cooking rooms. The home economics and shop classes were in session. The home economics department taught girls to be good homemakers by showing them correct methods in cooking and sewing techniques. In the shops, boys learned how to build and repair furniture. They also had a chance to take apart and rebuild their own cars. Leads tfv QduJastiC . . . 8

The work program provided a chance for students to hold a job in the afternoon and attend classes in the morning. This program was especially designed for students who wished to gain experience in the business world rather than prepare for college. The school found jobs for these students, and their employers graded them on their work. Our newspaper, the Patriot, was produced by a capable staff who worked together to meet deadlines and put out a paper full of interesting pictures and stories. Many clubs added interest and variety to school life, too. The National Honor Society was one such activity. The group worked for the school and for a trip as a climax to a busy year's activities. cuid [biteies Aw BttcowvcuCjed;. . .
