Since the great majority of students graduating from high school must fill iobs in industry, we feel that a well-rounded shop program is a must. While we do not produce a finished mechanic, our program offers a great variety of experiences in auto mechanics, machine shop, radio, woodworking, drafting. This year the girls' physical education program centered around fitness. Activities that helped improve fitness were added tothe program to enable each girl to improve her per- formance. The boys' physical education program is divided into two parts: physical fitness activities and sports program. The phys- ical fitness activities include muscle building, exercises and running. The sports program consists of marching, football, re- lays, wrestling, speedball, basketball, tumbling, softball, track, and other gym games.
