Sophomore girls spend eighteen weeks of the school year in physical education, participating in such activities as bas- ketball, field hockey, volleyball, badminton, trampoline, body mechanics, and softball. A similar amount of time is provided for health study wherein units on alcohol, narcotics, tobacco, first aid, and mental health are presented.

Striving for Sportsmanship No significant changes have taken place in this year’s Boys Physical Education Department. Good sportsmanship is still the main stress of Wakefield’s Physical Education Staff. While football, basketball, softball, volleyball, and wrestling are the most popular with the boys, sophomores are required to spend part of the year in Health. Here they not only learn the functions of the body but are taught the effects of nar- cotics, alcohol, and tobbaco. “Just give me a longer cape and I think it will work,’ says Larry Aument.
