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.

We, the Class of 1965, acknowledge the determined — the devoted efforts, and the superb example of an outstanding member of the Woburn High School faculty. He is an individual whom we consider as an inspiration and guide in taking our first step of the long journey now awaiting us. Beyond doubt this individual is one of the most generous, considerate teachers we have ever known. Furthermore, he has presented himself exactly as he is: fair, jovial, and tolerant. His subject has never proved dull; there is always that stimulating atmosphere of friendliness and understanding in his classroom. Actually, by teaching us of the past, he has succeeded in show¬ ing us the way to our future. Our small token can never fully express our deep feeling to¬ ward this dedicated teacher and driver education instructor; but we do hope our tribute will express “somehow, in some way” our gratitude to you, MR. WILLIAM A. ROCHE. WILLIAM A. ROCHE Mr. Roche poses with Mr. Russell and the Driver Ed students. Mr. Roche makes a point clear to his P.O.D. class.
