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.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING... Trade Needs Shop Majors INDUSTRY has a place for you if you are well-trained and willing to work! These words might have been said by Harold Crawford, Industrial Arts chair- man at Workman, to any shop maior. Being what is known as the most prac- tical field for high school graduates, the Industrial Arts Department aimed to give students pre-vocational and vocational training. Interested maiors worked their way up to becoming a foreman in drafting, metals, wood, and graphic arts. Each step along the way laid a foundation for this job iust as it does in real indus- try. Besides hearing lectures, students saw demonstrations, films, took field trips to maior plants, and of course created their own projects during the year, which they exhibited at Open House. The instructors fostered two clubs, the IEM Club lMetalsl and Aviation Club.
