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

Developing culture in the minds of students was the job that was undertaken by the music depart- ment. In music appreciation classes students studied the life of composers and the era in which they Wrote. They also listened to compositions written by great composers representing our different cul- tures and ways of life. Thus, the students learned of the value and pleasure that can be derived from music.
