LEISURE EMPHASIZED . . . Bags equest Practical PE HOW did Boys' Physical Education at WHS differ from the course in other schools this year? As a result of a survey taken last year, the PE department, directed by Don Outland, decided to comply with the boys' wishes and offer them a chance to go into fields which they could use after leaving school. These sports included: bowling, golf, skiing lboth kindsl, iudo, skin and scuba diving, hunting, and fishing, to name a few. Another unusual program was that of Sports Appreciation during which athletes heard lectures by leading sports figures, viewed films, and demonstra- tions by the coaches. Besides the above features, the boys participated in or wide variety of sports which helped to develop them not only physically and socially, but also emo- tionally and intellectually.
