Physical education offers students various activities Physical education, an innportant part of your school activities, is offered to Roosevelt students in many forms. Power volleyball was among one of the new sports added to the girls ' gym classes. With the addition of the girl ' s gym- nastics team, many girls have been able to practice this sport. Intra-mural sports were sponsored again this year by Mr. Robert Anderson for the boys ' gym classes. Students had the opportunity to go to a swim class instead of the regular gym class. A new diving board was purchased for the pool. 1 t- ' ' 1 Mrs. Smith and junior Kim Carpenter discuss swimming techniques. Various P. E. activities are enjoyed by the boys ' gym class.

Mrs. Sweet ' s duties include caring for those who become ill at school, and deciding who should be sent home. She speaks to biology and homemaking classes about veneral disease and drugs, and gives confidential advice and refer- rals for personal health problems.
