The happy faces which students display after every gym period are a tribute to the efforts of the Physical Education Department. This branch of the school has been a constructive force in building the strong bodies and sound minds of these future citizens. In the required gym periods the fellows engaged in a variety of sports including softball, basketball, football, soccer, and volleyball. The girls enjoyed dancing, hockey, touch-football, softball, basketball, and bowling. History is the past, studied in the present, as a guide for the future. This simple concept has guided llaf!

The emphasis in the teaching of history has shifted from cramming dates and dry facts to giving pupils a broad picture of an entire era.

That this training was so thorough and so interesting is to the credit of the Science Department. To all pupils, the Science Department tried to give a good scien- tific background-a background which should be invluable to them in later life. This year, as usual, the Language Department upheld its high standards of instruction.

To relieve the congestion which had ormerly occurred, a 'stagger sys- tem was used. Under this system groups entered and left the cafeteria every six minutes.
