Physical education or some other physi- cal activity is required of every VHS student during his four years of high school. All P.E. classes engage in such sports as tennis, basketball, soccer, softball, track and volley- ball. While the boys' classes practice weight- lifting, the girls enjoy less strenuous ac- tivities—speed ball, badminton, golf and croquet. In a chapel program, the P.E. girls en- tertained the student body by displaying their skills in tumbling and creative danc- ing, special features of their classes. Frank Crane, Mike Slack, Tim Tart, Evon McLaurin, and Raymond Allen enjoy bas- ketball. Harold Hobby, Bruce Carter, Gene Lane, David Atkinson, Freddie Kilgore, and Marvin Broom- burg are building their muscles by lifting weights and doing chin-ups.
