Diversion and Distraction 17 , PHYSICAL EDUCATION 'WW AMW ,iz - I CUTE AND COLLECIATE Checking health notes is one job of vivacious Mrs. Drezner. Traditionally the dullest and most disliked class in the school day, physical education became this year a period eagerly awaited and thoroughly en- joyed by THSers. Spacious locker rooms, new equipment-rings, horizontal and parallel bars, ropes, weights, and exercise racks,'-not to men- tion the added distractions in co-edi' gym classes when the electric partition failed to operate-all drew the interest of even the non-athleticv habitual gymdodgers. But only as good as its instructor is any class, and with Mrs. Barber, Mrs. Ardito, and Mrs. Dresner, whom we regretfully saw leave at mid-year, and coaches Littler and Radoviczh, a dull moment never existed in Phys-Ed.

Racing the second-hand of the Porto-Clinic test apparatus, parking six inches from the curb, and absorbing lectures on attitude, automobile mechanics, and evils of alcohol-all play a vital role in transforming characteristically exuberant and reckless teenagers into respectful, careful drivers. Injecting their Driver-Ed chats with illustrative and often amusing anecdotes, Mr. Williams, traditionally addressed as lVilly, and Mr. Cavalucci bring out the fine points of automo- bile navigation, the technicalities of motor vehicle laws, and the rules of 'fgood road conduct.
