Physical Education Brawn and Brains. Both of these were needed to excel in physical edu- cation classes. A Riverside student learned to co-ordinate his mind with his muscles. An outstanding addition to the physical education department was the swimming pool. The boys developed their bodies through water basketball, while girls learned to use their minds and bodies in synchronized swimming. Basketball, volleyball, and many other games helped develop co-ordination in both boys and girls and advance the overall physical fitness program. l William Lennox Philip Lindeman Joseph Lordi Laila Mack Neil Mack Don't give up yet, only twenty seconds morell' Miss E a s t, student te a c h e r, administers physical fitness test. 30

Gln this way, joe, a static charge is built up on this metal globe . . Mr. LaRose and 1. Miloser study the Van de Graaff generator in 9th grade Science class. Girls took part in one phase of the health course, first aid, by practicing on fellow students. M. Homer, K. Evans, C. Allison, N. Agostinelli. Science As long as there are questions yet unsolved, there will be men who will wonder and search for their answers, but, to find these answers there must first be an understanding of the questions. And it is here, in high school, that the foundation of the search for understanding is built. Through the various courses offered in general sciences, biology, chemistry, and physics, there is gained both a reali- zation of the answers already found and an as- sociation with the questions that remain unanswered. Thus, the basic knowledge is acquired that will be so important in the questionable future. Health Hygiene was only one of many phases covered in the health classes. Students were given a chance to learn by doingv as they practiced first aid on fellow students. Bone structure and muscles were studied with the use of models. Filmstrips and discussions also added to the study of diseases, vitamins, and correct health habits. Although the course was a required one, students found it not only interesting but helpful. .4 n '2 Elaine Karnes Patricia Keller Karen King James LaRose Iudith LaRose

Library Answers to many questions were found ir1 the vast resources of the library. In addition, it provided a quiet place to study and a new and ever expanding selection of books and reference materials. Library Science classes taught students how to use the library properly. However, students were not the only individuals to benefit from the library. The professional room was put to good use by teachers working during their preparation periods.
