Mr. Gary Kile, who transferred to boys P.E. from commercial in- structor this year, checks Duane Morris in a physical fitness test. Doing your ' thing ' was the opportunity provided by a varied offering in the fields of fine arts and physical education. Nearly 45 per cent of the high school students partici- pated in the activities of the Music and Art Departments, while more than 75 per cent took P.E. at least twice a week. Even students not enrolled in music or art benefitted in- directly from performances and displays in tliese fields. The band performed at ball games, represented the school in marching contests, and presented concerts. An orchestra make up of selected members provided the accompaniment for MY FAIR LADY, all-school musical which was a major activity of the Vocal Music Department, together with concerts and small group performances. Drawings, painting and sculptures from the art classes brightened the library and hall display cases, to say nothing of the atmosphere provided as art students turned the south hall into a workshop for creating sets for MY FAIR LADY. The P.E. program offered a variety of activities through the year, stressing the development of skills for sports in season. Tournaments helped to identify the most proficient, while physical fitness tests provided another yardstick. Okay now girls, jump high! Miss Linda Georgis coaches her P.E. girls in the art of basketball. Miss Georgis came to SHS fresh out of teachers college, but quickly hit her stride. 17

Mr. Mills arranged all the orchestra music for MY FAIR LADY and most of the numbers for the SHS Dance Band. Sandra Wyatt receives a couple of helpful pointers on her woodcut from Mr. Roger Batt, art instructor.
