HEALTH First aid, the study of the care and function of the parts of the body, and healthful living are covered in our health classes. Knowledge of these things will develop a stronger nation. A course in drivers' training is also offered which educates youth in proper and safe operation of motor vehicles. Actual experience in operating an automobile is given as excellent training for safer drivers. Mr. May, our coach, is the teacher of these subjects, GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The girls' physical education department, under the supervision of Mrs. Eastman, has squad leader organization.
