Our schools offer all these arts, and each course helps develop a better understanding and ability for these arts. To go com- pletely through school without taking at least one of these courses would he like eating just plain bread, when we could have it with jelly and jam. The arts enlighten our lives and also they may help find our future work for us. We may never become a great artist, musician or actor hut we can find and fill our interests in these arts, no matter how large or small.

Physical Education In the middle of a long day at school, it is refresh- ing and relaxing to have a class in physical education. As students participate in active sports they build skill and grace that will serve them throughout life. Volleyball, basketball, baseball, speedball, soccer, golf, archery, fencing, badminton, are only a few ac- tivities in this program. The intramural program which is very active in Travis provides exercise and social growth for the students. William B. Travis has one of the best physical education programs in the state, this has been achieved through the cooperation of the students and teachers.
