THEIRS IS A YUUTHFUI. ENTHUSIASM PHYSICAL EDUCATIGN is no longer a matter of reporting for a twice-a-Week stint at running around the stadium track or lifting an imaginary Weight while the instructor intones Cnet Two! Threei Four! Everybody participates in a Wide variety of games, exercises, and the like under a staff of skilled physical education experts as large as the entire faculty of some high schools.

THEY LEARN good habits of eating, posture, sportsmanship, and play, and will carry this training into their adult lives. Perhaps the best lesson the youthful Coyotes learn, though, is the example set by the teachers themselves. When the All School Tournament rolls around, you'll find the ' coaches teaming with students to hustle for championship honors in badminton, table tennis, and l the numerous other sports. Our physical education staff will always seem full of pep and the en- thusiasm of youth because they have remembered how important it is to know how to play. COACHES Iohn Black. Wendell Patterson, R.
