Physical Education Chairman Monte Charles Edward Bryant Milton Hurd Physical Education offers boys and girls a chance to let off steam in team and individual sports. Boys participate in swimming, as well as wrestling, basketball, softball, volleyball, football, track, badminton, mnastics, and weight lifting. Girls also swim any artici ate in such team sports as basketball and voileybafl. Small groups of girls fence and race, play badminton and tennis, and do exercises and gymnastics. vs.. 'T' -Us Joe Pagan Charles Janke Jack Schreder When it comes time for the scheduling of classes, drivers training is probably the most sought after. Because of the school's facilities, many students are unhappy when they find they will have to wait until next semester to take the course. Getting into drivers training is a difficult task, but passing it is even harder, especially for the girls. After the students learn the laws of the Michigan Vehicle Code they get their first chance to drive a car--legally anyway. 22

The Reference Library, first set up in 1953, and the Reading Library, formed in 1960, have together accumulated over 9,000 books and still receive them at a rate of 1,000 per year. Language I wr 'frzff' f5- 'QQ Ellen Harrington Donna Melcher 21 Mrs. Virginia Freeze, library secretary, gives a helpful suggestion to junior Don Gruendler on material for his term paper. Chairman Irma Wright Robert Di Giulio Virginia Hammond French, Spanish, and Latin are the three lang- uages offered at Southfield. French and Spanish are both languages of romance while Latin is not a spoken language but a written one. Each year more students take a language course. German and Russian will be added to the language curriculum next year, since a foreign language background is a requirement for entering some colleges. Before a student can receive his credits for a language he must pass two years of that language.
