The familiar odor of medications and the consoling air of recovery greeted many as they strode through the door of the health suite. Capable attendants cared for various aches and pains, whether real or imaginary. Their services also included a multi- tude of health examinations such as physicals, eye and ear tests, and dental exams. . Q f r mg 55 i vt't l SJ' clsr l lyll it E MARGARET J.

The boys reasoned for themselves, made decisions, and performed the work required of them. With excellent instruction from skilled teachers, the young novices learned the techniques involved in drafting, carpentry, and machine operation. This background gained will be an ad- vantage to our future men in industry. The welding arc was a common sight around the shop. 27

PHYSICAL EDUCATION With greater emphasis on physical fitness lately, the need for physical education classes has been stressed. At Riverside, students learned the value of physical exercise while en- joying a refreshing variation from the mentally exhausting work of the day. Improvements were evident in such sports as basketball, volley ball, and soccer. One highlight for the boys was the obstacle course. On the other side of the curtain, the girls were actively engaged in an introduction to modern dance. Murder ball was one of the more active seg- ments of the boys' gym program. 'wlsafswfh li Girls mastered the skills of volley ball through class period games. The whirl of an election year prompted many classroom debates.
