Stimulates Ability Of IndiVLclual Students Stimulating individual ability and striving for sportsmanlike attitudes and a cooperative spirit is the purpose of the Physical Education Depart- ment. Physical Education shows students the way to promote good physical and mental health. It is required all three years, but seniors may stubstitute another class in place of it. Seniors interested in taking a third year may develop themselves as leaders by becoming Physical Edu- cation assistants. Learning the skills of driving, the rules and courtesies of the road by actual driving with an instructor, and taking psychophysical tests, is the plan of the Driver ' s Education classes. They also learn about their own emotions, how to cope with them, and how to help defend themselves against careless drivers. They acquire a clearer understanding of the car and its parts and be- come better, safer, and more stalDle drivers.
