Health Course Added to Phy. Ed. Area Mr. Ixiuie Job taught the tenth, seventh and eighth grades while Mr. Daniel Drcxier taught ninth grade physical education for boys. Mrs. Marlene Mann instructed ninth and tenth grade and Mrs Nela Christensen taught seventh and eighth grade girls’ physical education. A health program directed by Mrs. Nela Christensen, Mr. Daniel Drexler, Mr. Louis Job Jr. and Mrs. Marlene Mann was one of the new aspects of the Physical Education area this year. Due to a state requirement, the course was given to seventh and tenth graders twice a week. In the future, health courses will probably be incorporated into all physical education classes. Two of the sports participated in by girls’ athletics classes were field hockey and golf. These classes were taught by Mrs. Mann in her second year at U High and by Mrs. Christensen who joined the staff spring quarter, 1966. The boys' classes were led by Mr. Drexler, Mr. Job and Mr. Kenneth Metz, who served as athletic director. Boys’ sports stressed both competitive team and individual sports. Mrs. Annette Buland taught sixth grade during UES’s final year of existence. Besides UES facilities, sixth graders were also able to use some at U High such as the library.

Office Staff and Custodians Work Behind the Scenes It’s hard to put down in words what this kind of work is,” reported Miss Edith Nyquist, office staff supervisor. This is because it deals with requests from the faculty, scheduling, locker problems, supplies, transcripts. mimeograph orders and various other tasks. All supplies for staff and areas had to be kept in stock making re-orders necessary. Copy machines had to be kept in good running order and there were also numerous interruptions such as phone calls. Also, quarter, end of year, annual and North Central reports had to be completed. During spring quarter, there were the Awards assembly and Commencement exercises for which programs and diplomas were necessary. So actually there was no end to the work. said Miss Nyquist. Four-o-clock found the custodians hard at work in U High’s deserted halls. Equipped with brooms, buckets, soap and polishing machines, they left the school clean for the following morning.
