Next year, as the private school
moves into its new building, there
will be a full program Of physical
education offered. Roy R. Pear
son. school administrator, said
there will be two full time physi-
cal education instructors.
With the new building ready for
occupancy by fall, there will be
ample classroom space for phys
ed. Pearson said the space desig-
mated for the future cafeteria will
be subdivlded to provide special
classroomS for phys ed. For
those who wish to go up and wan
der around the new building, the
large center building on the back
row is designated for a future
cafeteria. The large building on
the first row is for a library.
The State Board of Education
demands of each graduate from
an accredited school, two and
one-half years of phys ed. This
Sldellner thinks this requirement
is good one 1t is not designed
to make a star football player
out OF every student, but it gives
each student in school the privi-
lege of participating in organ
lied group activity, as well as
classroom instruction.
Sure, some of the boys land
girls are going to perform not
quite as good as some of the
others. But performance is only
half the battle. Participating in
a sportSmanlike manner is the
important thing. And when one
student strikes out in softball, an
other will just as likely strike
out in the algebra test. The OPP
pOrtunity to participate in both
is the important thing.
Mrs. Nancy Anderson, phys ed
instructor. has done an eXem-
plary job in teaching the eighth
graders this year. Through fair

Gated a wonderful spirit of par

both races accepted the situa-

The integration of restau-

stores was carried out with no

In the Magnolia Room of

quietly at a table, and white
dinners gave them emily casual
glances.

Thus there was brought to

The agreement at that time
was that eating facilities at the

Atlanta's public schools, and
not later than Oct. Is.
