PHYSICAL EDUCATION The development of physical skill, strength and dexterity as well as a sense of well-being and sportsmanship may be described as the long-range goals of the Physical Education Department. Students are given the opportunity to excel in a variety of team sports such as hockey, soccer, softball and foot- ball. In addition, opportunities to develop dexterity at individual sports are also available in archery, gymnastics, track and field which range through- out the seasons from fall through early summer. Students are even invited to participate in coeducational activities such as square dancing. The department is not limited to physical activities, however, as practical safety and service to the community are encouraged in classroom activities throughout a three-year study. A combination of practical demonstration and the widely-varied use of audio-visual aids bring subject matter in the fields of health, civil defense, first aids and community hygiene into practical perspec- tive to the students. With such a well-rounded program, it is hoped that the students will face the future physically and mentally fit to deal with the problems of the modern world. JOHN WORTLEY.
