The use of the new body building equipment such as the isometrical contraction bars, the peg-board, and the hanging ladder improved coordination and strength while stimulating student interest in the many activities of the Physical Education Depart- ment. After school, classroom teams competed in basketball and volleyball games. Health course in prevention and cure of disease, first aid, and vari- ous health problems were included in the program. Driving experience was offered and the giant physical education show. Using the theme Frontiers in Fitness, the spring show was a tremendous success. Approximate- ly four hundred students partici- pated in gymnastic and tumbling exhibitions and many forms of dance. Included also, were the Kennedy Family and faculty skits. Profits of the show were used to buy softballs, badminton sets, uneven parallel bars, a tram- polet, shuffle boards, archery sets, and table tennis equipment. Co-educational days offered students an opportunity to learn new and old dances. Also, there were classroom discussions on con- troversial social problems. 42

Patrick Henry's library has shown evidence of its growth in the past year. The library has in- creased its number of books from approximately 6,350 to 8,100 and many more are on order. Every day the library has been filled- students seeking information and material for projects, themes, as- signments, and term papers, some reading just for pleasure. Patrick Henry pioneered a course in programmed Library Science, and sixty-six interested students participated, At the beginning of the course a diagnostic test was given by Hollins College. At home or during a free period, partici- pants completed the fourteen chap- ter course. Upon completion they were given the same test a second time and the two test results were compared. Boyd Nichols, Bill Waldrop, Carol Eubank, Connie Trumpeter, Ann Daniel, Judy Nichols, Suzanne Hopper, Frank Morris, Marty Hood, .loan Kaplan, and Nelson Thompson were library assistants. ,fir new A W Mft? guide Q PWM?
