 Up. Up. and away. Mr. Buck. Tom Bedell. George Johnson. Leo Sullivan. Dave Coals. Dan Campbell. Dave Anderson, and Pat MeGrain. Emphasison Individual Sports 'Hie importance of physical education is being stressed more and more each day by the powers of the world. 'Hie Olympic games have emphasized the fact that the world not only watches the scientific and cultural advancements that the nations arc making, but it also keeps an eye on the advances in athletics and physical education. For this reason alone, physical education plays an important part in the school curriculum. The physical education department has five main objectives. 'Ibc first is to develop physical fitness, power, endurance. balance, and stamina. The second is sportsmanship where the need and respect of rules, responsibility and consideration of others is learned. Third, the skills of knowing how to play different games were taught so that they could be used in later life for recreation. Fourth, the plying skills such as safe-landing, dodging, proper lifting, and good safety rules were exercised. Last, but not least, was the acquisition of good health habits where fine health ideals and attitudes were learned. The main difference between the girls’ and boss’ departments was that the girls started out in junior high with team sports and then advanced later to the individual sports that they might later enjoy, such as, badminton, trampoline, tennis, golf, and archery, while the boys played the same team sports all the way through. The seventh graders were initiated into the previously taught six-year course in physical education by starting to play ficldball. vollcvball, basketball, and badminton for the girls sports while the boys learned apparatus, tumbling, wrestling, basketball, and skating skills. In the eighth grade the schedule was much the same with the addition of soccer for the girls and archery for the boys. The seventh and eighth graders were this year divided C’mon now. I that really the way It happened? Mr. Man- “And then Dean, you bring 'cr In here. Mr. Graven ning and Doug Heffner Nick Schoen and Dean Korsgren Page Twenty-Six

 Is this how it’s done? Mr. Schroeder and Don Scanlon The industrial arts courses were set up on a partially required and partially elective basis this past year. An industrial arts semester course which covered metal, wood, plastics, graphic arts, and leather was required of all seventh grade boys. Eighth graders were also required to take a semester course that covered drawing, electricity, wood, and graphic arts. Beginning in grade nine, the courses were offered as electives on a full year basis. 'Ilie freshmen boys worked diligently at drawing and woodwork the entire year. They drew the plans of their projects to scale and then later built the projects which ranged from lawn ornaments to indoor furniture. Sophomore boys were offered general metals which covered bench and sheet metal work, lathe work, arc welding, oxyacctylcnc welding, forging and foundry work, and also a course in mechanical drawing. The juniors were offered Printing I, mechanical drawing, machine drawing, and electricity shop. Printing II. advanced metalwork, or machine drawing were available to interested senior boys. “Really want to take this apart?

Builds Body Co-ordination into two groups with one section coining to class on Mondays and Wednesdays and the other on Tuesdays and Thursday. The freshmen girls were introduced to archery and thus the tumbling, track, and field units were omitted. 'lire sophomore girls were taught a bod}’ conditioning unit for the first time. The archery and body conditioning units were then continued until graduation. Physical education will be taught on an elective basis next year for the juniors and seniors. Health, of course, will be omitted entirely for juniors and seniors during the 1960-61 school year. Many more students than there will be room for in the physical education classes next year have indicated that they desire to take it as an elective. By the time that students graduate from Wayzata High they have a greater respect for their own body, what it is able to do. and have the habit of keeping it at its best. We enjoy many activities and are able to do them well enough to use in our leisure times. Because we learn to recognize and appreciate good performance in many activities, we should get pleasure out of watching top | crformcrs the rest of our life. Under the expert direction of Mr. Bill Manning. Wayzata’s Athletic Director and Physical Education Coordinator — Mrs. Beverly Kbbccke, Mrs. Norma Skillc. Miss Betty Johnson, Mr. Richard Buck, and Mr. Jim Graven, our physical education clcasscs provided the opportunity to participate in and learn the background of select activities. For this, the students arc and should be eternally grateful.
