STROKING THROUGH THE clear water of the pool, sophomore girls perfect their aquatic abilities. RIGGROUS PROGRAM STRESSES CONDITIONING Under Mitchellis rigorous physical education pro- gram two basic themes are being stressed this year: teamwork for the girls and conditioning for the boys. Girls work on such team sports as volleyball, field hockey, softball, and tennis, but individual activities such as archery, shuffleboard, and golf are not neglected. Free exercise fexercise and dance routines to musicj, ball routines similar to those done by the Danish gymnastics team, and work on the apparatus also help girls to develop their latent grace and rhythm. Correlating more vigorous activities such as hand- ball, speedball, basketball, and wrestling, the boys' gym classes concentrate on conditioning. Boys spend roughly fifteen minutes at the beginning of each class period in calisthenics, weightlifting, and running be- fore going on to other activities. Spending one semester in health and swim classes, sophomores study physiology as well as develop their aquatic abilities. In the advanced swim classes students refine their technique and learn lifesaving while practicing com- petitive and synchronized swim. They also learn the complicated procedure of managing swim meets. DEVELOPING STAMINA AND physique, these boys finish up a fifteen minute conditioning period.

PERSONNEL KEEP MITCHELL FUNCTIONING E - it THREE OF MITCHELL'S service personnel, Mr. Alvin Sharp, Mr. Norbert Justman, and Mr. William Bogner, take a breather from the large task of keeping Mitchell operational. Keeping the school fully operational and feeding myriads of students are only two of the many tasks faced by Mitchellis service staff this year. Affronted by square feet of glass and square yards of floor space, as well as by dozens of dusty black- boards, custodians must be ready to find any quirks that may appear in the new building's heating and electrical systems. Because school dieticians must consider economy as well as nutrition, hot lunch menus do not include filet mignon, lobster tails, Caesar salad, baked Alaska, or caviar. Offering a variety of main dishes such as turkey tetrazinni, baked ham, and juicy-burgers, hot lunches also include vanilla pudding, corn bread, jelly-filled donuts, pie, and sherbet. Tasty sandwiches, potato chips, juice, and lemon- ade are some of the light foods that are offered by the cold lunch line.
