Co-Ordinator of Athletics Football Coach Varsity Club GYM OFFERS SPORTS FOR EVERY TASTE There have been many innovations in the Physical Education Department. New apparatus such as the trampoline, chinning bar, and ladder have been installed to provide more diversified physical education for girls. For the boys, there is weight lifting and wrestling. Several new activities such as tennis, field hockey, softball, basketball, and football are now part of the intramural program. A progressive Fitness Testing Program has also been introduced. Part of this plan involves recording the physical fitness record of each student from grade seven to grade twelve in order to indicate his or her improve¬ ment. Finally, because of all these activities and the excellent equipment, many have shown an increased interest in physical education. This can be evi¬ denced by the greater number of students participating in activities both during and after school. The trampoline offers something new in gym ac¬ tivities.

THOMAS J. KILDAY Fitchburg State College B.S., M.Ed. Mechanical Drawing Pre-Engineering Drawing Science Club and Fair TECHNICAL DRAWING IMPORTANT TO FUTURE DRAFTSMEN AND ENGINEERS Many students are interested in engineering as a career. For this reason the Technical Drawing De¬ partment offers three interesting courses. Technical Drawing I explains the basic principles and fundamentals used in engineering. Technical Drawing II undertakes actual plan drawing. The third course, Pre-Engineering Drawing, furnishes the student with additional knowledge in both of these areas. We all are certain that sometime in the future our graduates will be complimented for the skills they originally developed when taking these courses at Woburn High. Opportunity does lie ahead for the hardworking student. Mr. Kilday explains drawing techniques. WILLIAM J. LEUCI Fitchburg State College B.S. Industrial Arts Metal Shop WILLIAM J.

By learning about power mechanics, a student gains proficiency in electronics and auto mechanics. A glimpse into graphic arts reveals units dealing with the designing of labels, record albums, and greeting cards. Technical drawing or drafting — a means of communication through lines — allows a person to attain engineering status. Being provided with the latest equipment — a multigraph offset, a blueprint and developing machine, a gas furnace, and drafting machines — students have educational opportunities which are more than sufficient to bring them One of the students takes a proof. success in any of these fields.
