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.

CAFETERIA AND MAINTENANCE HELPS MAKE SCHOOL MORE ENJOYABLE River Forest cafeteria staff with the aid of government surplus food pro- vides approximately 165,600 meals per year to elementary, high school, and faculty members. On special oc- casions such as Thanksgiving, Christ- mas and Easter the cafeteria tried to provide meals to suit the festive oc- casions. Turkey dinners with all the trimmings were served at Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas. Menus were pub- lished monthly and posted in every classroom. The maintenance crew headed by Mr. Dale Baker, plays an important part in the appearance and the up- keep of RF. From changing light bulbs to cleaning up after dances, they are a familiar sight to students and teach- ers alike. Brightening the cafeteria daily are Mrs. Sylvia Hoover, Mrs. Mildred Matheny, Mrs. Oy{dal Isakson, Mrs. Irene Hoover, Mrs. Frank Mag- nuson, Mrs. Dorothy Gar- land, and Mrs. Josephine Cauley. 21
