P.E. Activities With typical enthusiasm, Mrs. Herman Johnson briefs her girls before a volleyball match. Mary Pate and Cecelia Carswell romp through a lively song and dance routine. Coordination of body . . . rhythm in motion . . . knowledge of sports . . . development of physical skills ... all these factors receive emphasis in the VHS physical education program. Through calisthenics, dancing, tumbling, and games, boys and girls learn the decisive but easy movements characteristic of good physical coordination. Sports which change with the seasonal cycle of national games are played at VHS. Girls play tennis and volleyball, soccer and speedball, basketball and fundamental golf as well as the less active game- horseshoes. Boys engage in such sports as football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, and track. MRS. HERMAN JOHNSON A.B., Valdosta State College; M.A., University of Georgia, physical education. Teaches: Physical education. Sponsors: Girls' Athletic Association, Racquette Club. With Linda McLaurin as a base, Lee Langdale does a chest stand. Their act was one of the highlights of the Dance-Tumbling Show. 26

Industrial Arts Program Reinstated All is no longer quiet in the Shell Hart- ley Shop Building! Believing that education is for the total personality—not for the mind alone—the Board of Education this year returned the shop program to the curriculum. Boys enrolled in Shop I and Shop II learn to use such tools as electric drills, lathes, and power saws. They make scale drawings and build wood projects. In order to make the best use of the facilities in the shop building, Mr. Fannin also teaches eighth and ninth grade boys who come over in a bus from Val- dosta Junior High School. Pencil and ruler are the tools of shop students Kenny Crago, Wayne Montgomery, Richard Rykard, Clay Freeman, and Calvin Hamby as they learn the art of mechanical drawing under Mr. E. J. Fannin, center. MR. ESTILL J. FANNIN B.S., Morehead State College, industrial arts, agricul- ture. Teaches: Woodwork, drawing. Juniors Joe Rogers, Charles Holtzclaw, and R. S. Deloach uses a pattern for a layout while Charles and R.S. work on gun racks, their wood projects for shop. Joe sandpaper their racks before varnishing. 28
