Members of the Health and Physical Education Department, headed by Coach Ingram, have many objectives they hope to achieve each year. In their physical titness program, they are con- oemed with developing certain muscular skills in their students as well as teaching th anatomical and physiological aspects that pro- duce them. In addition to the physical program, health principles are taught through the health classes. In the health classes, the students are taught the principles of sound nutrition, the proper practices regarding communicable diseases, and effective personal hygiene procedures. Through both the physical and health pro- grams, the students are encouraged to spend a proportionate share of their leisure time engaged in fitness or recreational activities. Mi. John A.

In Unified Geometry, the students acquire geometric facts and the ability to think creatively. Algebra I introduces the students to the language of sets and provides an understanding of set relations. Math 8 and 9 attempts to develop the ability to think through a problem and determine what units are needed in developing a solution. ln Remedial Math, the stu- dents are taught to prepare for use of everyday mathematics, and to gain a sense of organization and logical thought which can be extended to other areas. The instilling of the ability to think logically and building an understanding of the principles governing addition, substraction, multiplication and division are but a few of the objectives of Math 7.
