Gymnastics added to curriculum Don't look at your feetg look at the end of the beam! was an order heard in PE for the first time this year. With the completion of the gym and the purchase of new equipment, the Physical Education De- partment expanded its pro- gram to include gymnastics. A balance beam, parallel bars, side horse, new mats, spring boards, and indoor game equipment were added. Girls team sports consisted of everything from volley ball to ragtag. Individual sports included archery, golf, tennis, gymnastics and tumbling. Boys enjoyed many of the same sports as the girls plus wrestling, football, horse- shoes and weightlifting. Beneath the tangle of arms and legs, is a plasticine ball used in playing a kind of reverse tug-of-war during Coach Medgebow's fifth period class. LA.

Doug Williams tests efficiency by using electronic machinery. I3 students finish 2-year program Students enrolled in auto mechanics have an opportun- ity to prepare for any kind of work related to car service. Thirteen boys completed the two year course this spring. Not only do the boys have to learn what pistons, rods, crankshafts, carburetors and condensers are, but they also need to learn the various methods of disassembling these parts with each different car. lt's not always easyg however, it's not quite so dif- ficult if one knows exactly what he's trying to do. After the student mechanic finds the car's problem, the difficult work remains to be conquered. That is when he must try to fit his elbows, arms, hands and big fingers into the tight, hard-to-reach spots - of which there al- ways seem to be several -to perform the operation.

Over the summer vacation, the girls made uniforms and ctory' for team washed cars to raise money. They painted flash cards which spelled out Robinson Knights and Victory, reserved front row seats in the stadium by painting Pep on bleachers, and sold football programs at all home games. During Hillsborough Week, they decorated the cafeteria, painted spirit signs, and encouraged the student body to goto the games and actively support the Knights.
