PHYSICAL EDUCATION STRESSES SKILLS Physical fitness is being stressed more and more every year, not only at River Forest but at almost every school in the nation. The required physical education class for fresh- men gives them the fundamentals of widely known sports and teaches students the impor- tance of keeping fit. Students who wish to be leaders in athletic activities may join leadership P.E. which gives them instruction in canoeing, bowling, and in becoming counselors at the annual sixth grade camp held at Dunes State Park. Some of these students also become gym assistants in their junior and senior years. They help the teacher by keeping a class in order and individually showing a student how to better master a sport. For sophomores, there is the required health and safety class which also teaches physical fitness but is mainly concerned with first aid and the well being of the body. MR. WILBUR LOGAN MR. ROBERT MARSZALEK MISS CYNTHIA SAWYER MISS PATRICIA VANNORSDALL Folk dancing in girls ' P.E. classes has become a fun way in which to participate in strenuous physical activity. 19

MUSIC AND ART DEVELOP CREATIVITY Self-expression and cultural enrichment are an important part of a student ' s schooling. Mr. An- thony Koss, who instructs the various art classes, Mr. Rex L. Brown, who directs the choral groups, and Mr. James Bruton, who serves as band di- rector, encourage a student to make use of his artistic or musical talents. The first year of art includes different art media while the second year of art instruction and art seminar class cater more to the development of a student ' s individual technique. Choral groups at RF include the concert choir and the Bell-Ringers. Instrumental training lets a student participate in the concert band which performs at football game half-times and school assemblies or the pep band which plays at pep sessions and home basketball games. The RF band goes into one of its marching formations as it performs during the half-times ceremony at a home football game. Art instructor Mr. Koss watches his students as they shape clay into various forms. MR. REX L. BROWN MR. JAMES BRUTON MR. ANTHONY KOSS Fine performances take time and practice. Mr. Brown is shown here leading the choir in a daily practice session. 18
