Miss Kesting reveals the facts of life Girls' gym class performs basic techniques in ! Jump rope. Oops! Here comes lunch! Steve Cohen, Larry Stuarti. Health is a familiar course to all the students at S.P.F.H.S. because it is required for gradu- ation. Due to the discontinuation of Drivers, Education, the Junior Health Course, Drivers' Theory, was also dropped this year. The Sophomore Health Course was designed to train the students in the fundamentals of First Aid. Emphasis was placed on the prac- tical application of basic techniques. Films and discussions concerning current health problems again augmented the textbook material this year. For the second successful year, Sex Educa- tion was offered to all seniors. This program was planned to give each student a mature outlook on dating, marriage, and the problems he will face as an adult. At the close of this six week course each student was required to Write his '6Philosophy of Lifei' in an effort to evaluate himself as an individual. Look Mom, no hands! Larry Stuarti.

DEPARTMENT PROVIDES A WELL-' BALANCED PROGRAM If you were to walk through the back hall during any hour of the day this year, you would have heard an assortment of yells, cheers, laughter, and hundreds of feet charging around the gym. Although this roar may have given the impression of utter chaos, it was actually one of the most organized activities in the students' day. The Physical Education Department trained students in the skills and rules of a variety of sports. Girls participated in seasonal units of soccer, wres- tling, basketball, and track and field, as Well as calisthenics, gymnastics, and modern dance. Foot- ball, soccer, wrestling, basketball, and track and field were included in the boys' activities. There was also co-ed activity in volleyball and square dancing, which provided a well-rounded program throughout this year.

ROBERT BROWN MUSIC DEPARTMENT EXPANDS Our marching band is the most notable aspect of the Music Department at S.P.F.H.S., but it is far from the only activity for musical development. Many students participate in the Orchestra and the various choruses. The department's aim has been to provide the students with a means of expression. This has been achieved through instrumental instruction and courses in Music Appreciation and Music Theory. King Horn is all wrapped up in his work.
