MRS. NANCY T. LOCKHART B. A., Duke Health, Ph. Ed. Advisor - Confederettes MR. CHARLES B. STANLEY B. S., A.S.T.C. Health, Ph. Ed. General Math Physical education taught good sportsmanship Although health and physical education is a required course at Southern, it still ranks as one of the most popular. Being extremely for¬ tunate, Southern was able to present to students not only the required course but also an advanced one. Offered for both boys and girls, regular physical education classes met three days per week. Health, therefore, was taught the re¬ maining two days. Physical education minus the health program was offered in the advanced course. Because the time was not as limited as the regular classes, the advanced students were able to explore in detail the history and development of many sports as well as the rules and regulations. During the year, all classes began by several minutes of performing calisthenics. Then students were usually divided into two teams in order to play such games that were taught as volley ball, soccer, basketball, and softball. Through the hard work and effort put forth both by the teachers and the students, a great deal was accomplished. Students learned more than just doing exercises, playing games, study¬ ing health, and practicing good sportsmanship. Most important of all, they learned the skill of getting along with others. MR. ROY CLAYTON, JR. A. B., Catawba Health, Ph. Ed., Athletic Director Coach - Basketball, Golf, Asst. Football Advisor - Monogram Club

The library offered sources for learning At Southern High School the library is an essential part of the process of learning. It provides a large quantity of good reading mater¬ ials. By the end of this year the library should have approximately ten thousand books. On the average this would be ten books per student. The library also contained subscriptions to forty-six magazines and five newspapers. The library also provided audio-visual materials for students and teachers. These included records and filmstrips. Audio-visual machines such as record players, movie pro¬ jectors, tape recordersandtelevision sets can be found in the library. Students may come to the library for several purposes. These are to check out books, read magazines and newspapers, and to dereference work. The knowledge gained from the use of the library provided the students with a well- rounded education. MRS.
