36 physical educati
"Phys ed" classes help

mind and body function as a unit

A sound mind is a useless commodity unless it is found in
a strong and healthy body. The scholastic segment of the
school system develops the sound mind, but the strong
and healthy body is the responsibility of the Physical Edu­
cation Department under the direction of Mr. Ed Neu­
mann and staff. In "gym class" the student learns to get
along with others through team sports and group activi­
ties. A wide variety of individual sports is also included in
the curriculum to enhance personal physique and fitness.
For many students, "gym class" is fun and it provides
them with a break between mind-draining classes while
still providing necessary training. Although most ot the
year is dedicated toward actual physical activity, a good
part of the year is dedicated to health classes. Sex educa­
tion, personal hygiene, and emotional illness are topics
which are studied. These subjects and the exercise pro­
vided in class help form Wilson students into well-round­
ed people.
