Physical Ed. Classes Enjoy Swimming, Softball, Dancing ’’Splash.” This was how the physical education classes began this year. The girls received lessons in swimming for about six weeks from their new teacher, Miss Linda Turner. Since our school is including itself in the nationwide physical fitness program, fitness tests were taken and scores were recorded. Besides students learning and playing softball, volleyball, and other sports, the girls had volleyball and basket- ball tournaments between best teams of each class. Onlookers, from the girls in the remaining classes, cheered the teams on. Track, square dancing, and calisthenics were the other phases in this very important education program. TUMBLING can be a little hard on the head if not learned properly. Coach DuBose tells Ronnie Krause that he must use his shoulders to tumble correctly. BEFORE playing softball on the field, physical education girls get practice catching the ball in the gym. MR. WAYLAND DUBOSE teaches boys phy. ed. and civics. MISS.LIND A TURNER teaches girls phy. ed. and is a guidance counselor. SQUARE dancing may have been a little difficult at first, but it turned out to be a lot of fun when you mastered the steps.

Drivers Ed. Helps Teenager’s Driving Record Statistics prove that teenagers who have taken drivers education are the safer and more cautious drivers. Drivers education at U.H.S. begins with a three or four week class on safe driving rules and procedures. This class is cli- maxed by a test which must be taken in order to get a restricted license. When they re- ceive this license, students are given proper instructions in driving under actual con- ditions. Under these real conditions, stu- dents learn how to turn, back, parallel park, and keep the car in proper working order. This instruction helps prepare the stu- dents for their operators license test which is taken when they are 16. ANN Klinghpil backs the drivers ed car out of the school parking lot during her drivers training class. FRESHMEN student, Brenda Johnson, shows correct posture to use when driving. MR. J.

First Steps in Organizing a Band Taken at U.H.S. Under the new leadership of Miss Virginia Holliday, music classes have been on the march. With new facilities and grow- ing enthusiasm among her students, she has taken the first steps in beginning a band. Organizing a drum club and teaching stu- dents to play pre-band instruments, such as the auto-harp and the flute-phone, have been the products of her efforts, as well as of the students. Music appreciation is a must among stu- dents if they are to enjoy life. Classical music, popular tunes, folk songs, country music, and American jazz are included in appreciation classes. Through the combined efforts of the music classes, Christmas and Thanksgiving programs were presented. MISS VIRGINIA HOLLIDAY teaches music at U.H.S. and English. pAVID Baker demonstrates the correct way to hold and use drum sticks.
