A Sound Mind in a Sound Body Is Motto of the Coaches Because of the establishment of the National Physical Fitness Program by the late President Kennedy, more body building activities were brought into this year's program at Raytown High. In the girls' gym classes, the emphasis this year has been rhythm. Among the activities in the girls' program are basketball, volleyball, field hockey, and bowling. As an extra activity, the girls spent a few days playing touch football. Equipment to play shuffleboard was added to the department this year. The gym teachers are attempting to change the program each year to offer a more interesting schedule for the Raytown girls. The boys' athletic program offers a wide variety of sports including football, basketball, wrestling, track, golf, and cross country.Through this program the department strives to help the boys to become leaders not only in their activ- ities, but in 'school as well. Students learn to gain self-confidence and to achieve the ability to lead. They acquire self-discipline and sports- manship and know the importance of being physically fit. Through team athletics the student remembers to place the team ahead of himself and he learns that everywhere he goes, he is representing his school. Athletic scholarships are available to those outstanding athletes who rank in the upper two- thirds of their class.

Well-known throughout the state of Missouri as well as at home in Raytown, the Music Department of Raytown High School has continued to uphold its superior standards. Each year the band, orchestra, choir, and glee clubs are asked to perform at many civic, school, state, and national events. A number of concerts are given annually by the band and orchestra while the choir has participated in several school assemblies and pep rallies. It is the objective and purpose of the department to present a cultural program of education and entertainment to all of those involved in the music classes. Teaching the student appreciation of the arts and preparing him for future art education is achieved through the work of the Art De- partment. The program is basic with the re- quirement that all students complete all problems and projects each quarter. Included in these projects are drawing and design problems, paper and crafts, and book Work with tests. The Art Department, which sponsors the Brush and Pallet Club helps make the cafeteria festive during such holidays as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.

The Commerce Teachers Stress Vocational Preparation Miss Spidle stresses accuracy tolvlike Pendergast. Speed and accuracy are two words which are very important and quite well-known to those students and teachers involved in the business education program which includes classes in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, gen- eral business, and one in salesmanship which was added to the curriculum of the Commerce Department just this year. Striving to provide a good, sound program of vocational preparation and economic com- petency which is needed for initial employment and further advancement in a business career is the primary goal and the most important purpose of the department. An attempt is made to present the subject matter in an integrated pattern of business instruction thus givingagood opportunity for every student to receive pro- fitable and practical experience that will be useful to him now and in the years to come. New equipment, which includes an overhead projector for the shorthand classes and a new book entitled Fundamentals of Salesmanship used in the new course, was added this year to the ever growing department. Besides carrying out its regular academic responsibilities, the Commerce Department also sponsors the Raytown Rapid Riters, better known as the Tri-R Club which was organized in May 1962, and is composed of those students taking secretarial practice. p jf ni. -Q -,l INEZ uulisou j rrtii S MARY SPIDLE leris ssli it I MIIDIQEUHOIQN slis by ij I i,1No,x wiurugto PATRICIA WEAST VAN SIGMAN SHIRLEY BASS TERESA ROSS
