MR. GARY DOBSON-Physical Education PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES VARY Helping the students of Southwestern Heights develop physically, socially, mentally, and emo- tionally was the goal of the physical education department. Students participated inactivities varying from golf, badminton, softball, and vol- leyball to wrestling, tumbling, and table tennis, and rope jumping. The physical education program has worked at a disadvantage, but with the completion of the gymnasium and the swimming pool the program can develop more fully. SKILLS LEAD TO CAREERS The primary objective of the Southwestern Heights industrial arts department is to introduce the material and techniques of industry to the stu- dents. The new equipment acquired this year has enabled the students to gain a wider understanding in various fields of industry. The new automobile engines, along with working on cars in shop, made it possible for students to gain first hand exper- ience on every working part of an automobile. MR. A. J.
