Timothy Discovers Gymnastic Talents With the purchase of new equipment, the emphasis of the physical education classes switched to gymnastics, The girls were introduced to several new areas, including uneven parallel bars and trampoline. They also learned the rules of several team sports, such as flag football and field hockey. By means of films and brief lectures, the boys were made aware of the fact that physi- cal education is an art form. As in the past, the year was begun and concluded with testing all students in the area of general physical fitness. Those stu- dents who achieved over 85fX-J in every area of the program, received the President's Physical Fitness Award at the Awards Assembly in lVlay.

By learning to compose their own music and by analyzing other composers' music, the students began to understand in part the complexity of music then and now. The bands and choirs provided electives for those who wanted train- ing and experience in performing, Concentration is very difficult when the varsity band's regular friends, the wasps, are flying overhead.
