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

Builds Interest At Home Home Economics plays an im- portant role in our educational system today. lt is practical, in- teresting, and challenging. Since the home continues to be the foun- dation of our democratic way of life, home making has a very vital part to play in the lives of the stu- dents. Training is offered in foods and nutrition, child care and de- velopment, housing, home nursing, clothing and textiles, home man- agement, and family relationships. The major goal at Patrick Henry this year was to help the individual student develop her potential abil- ities concerning the home. The large groups of visitors who have toured our school found the 44 Home Economics Department to be a spacious multi-purpose room di- vided into modern unit kitchens. Colorful exhibits, attractive bul- letin boards, and the aroma of home cooking has transformed this department into a home-like set- ting. Through training in Home Eco- nomics, many girls assume the re- sponsibility of making their own clothing and that of other mem- bers of their family. With the large number of working mothers in our society today, many girls have also learned to prepare the evening meal for their family. This back- ground will help them to be better home makers for the future.
