At A&M Consolidated Junior High
Holecek Sets Up Excellent PE Program
By STEVE KORENEK
Lawrence Holecek, PE teacher
and coach at A&M Consolidated
Junior High School, has estab
lished a daily physical education
program which challenges the
students.
Holecek, 1105 Timm, College
Station, earned his bachelor’s de
gree in physical education at Tex
as A&M in 1961 and his master’s
in education, also at A&M, in
1964.
The coach explained the state
requires each school to have a
planned program and it even sug
gests a program. The program
varies from school to school how
ever and frequently the PE teach
er also teaches other courses.
Last year Holecek taught science.
This year he teaches only physical
education.
Holecek stressed that the secret
of a good PE program is organi
zation.
“Without organization none of
your objectives will be met,” he
said.
The objectives Holecek set up
when he started teaching are:
Gy
mnastic Team
Enters AAU Meet
The Texas A&M Gymnastic
team will compete at the Gulf
AAU Gymnastic meet this week
end at Sam Houston State Col
lege.
The Aggie will enter eight
events including the rings, par
allel bars, side horse, high bar,
free X, tumbling, vaulting and
trampoline. One team member
will compete in the all-around
which means he will enter all
the events except the trampoline.
Three different awards will be
given at the meet — individual,
all-around and team basis. Med
als will be given for the first six
places in individual competition
and trophies for the top all-
around and top team.
1) To develop and maintain
physical fitness.
2) To develop a sense of values
and responsibilities.
3) To develop an interest in PE
activities.
Holecek has set up his program
in such a manner as to achieve
these objectives. The daily ex
ercise helps accomplish the first
objective. Each student has a
uniform which he must take care
of. This and the participation in
team sports helps to accomplish
the second objective. The third
objective is met through the stu
dent’s own desire and through
teaching techniques.
The coach explained that he
teaches two types of sports. The
first type is the athletic sports
such as flag football and basket
ball. The second type is the life
time sports such as volleyball
and softball. Interest in the life
time sports is important because
it can help a person maintain his
physical fitness throughout his
life.
The grading periods at A&M
Consolidated are six six-weeks
units. Holecek teaches PE in six
units also. He makes his units
seasonal so that he can take ad
vantage of the student’s natural
interest.
“Being as we’re a college town,
they’re (the students) interested
when it (the sport) rolls around,’ 1 ’
he explained.
In the fall the first unit is flag
football, next is volleyball, the
third is basketball, the fourth is
a classroom course, health, and
soccer outside, the fifth is a mul
tiple unit and the sixth is track
and field and softball.

AUSTIN (A 5 ) — Third seeded
Luis Rojas of Texas A&M was
upset in the second round of
Southwest Conference tennis
singles Thursday but other lead
ers, Ted Gorski of Texas, seeded
No. 1; Richard Barker, Texas
A&M, No. 2, and John Pickens,
Rice, No. 4, sailed through.
Ed Turville of Rice, who was
unseeded, eliminated Rojas 6-3,

The top doubles team of Ted
Gorski and Leo LaBorde of Texas
moved through the first round.
Rojas and Barker who won the

The 1965 singles champion Jim
Parker of Rice has graduated.

BOSTON <A>) —- The Boston
Celtics, regarded by many as the
most fabulous team in major
league sports history, captured
their eighth straight National
Basketball Association champion
ship Thursday in defeating the
Los Angeles Lakers 95-93 at the
Garden.
Responding to pressure and
the cheers of a sellout crowd of
13,909, the Celtics gave retiring
Coach Red Auerbach a title salute
with another clutch performance
in winning the deciding game of
the best-of-7 championship series.
The Celtics, riddled by a series
of injuries and dethroned by
Philadelphia after a nine-year
reign as regular season Eastern
division kings, capped a hard-
fought playoff by winning their
ninth NBA championship in 10
years.
was the other member.
Led by veteran Capt. Bill Rus
sell, who will take over as player-
coach as Auerbach moves into
fulltime duty as general manager,
the Celtics turned in a tremen
dous defensive effort in stopping
the Lakers’ high-powered attack.

you just sat, didn't you?
You've made a mockery of your
life, Wallace Middendorp!
You're a vegetable.
Protest, Wallace Middendorp.
Take a stand. Make a noise!
Or drink Sprite, the noisy soft
drink.
Open a bottle of Sprite at
the next campus speak-out. Let
it fizz and bubble to the
masses.
Let its lusty carbonation
echo through the halls of ivy.
Let its tart, tingling
exuberance infect the crowd
with excitement.
Do these things, Wallace
Middendorp. Do these things,
and what big corporation is
going to hire you?
SPRITE.

AND TINGLING.
WE JUST COULDN’T
KEEP IT QUIET.
The multiple unit is made up of
wrestling, tumbling and weight
training. For this unit the classes
are broken down into groups by
weight and height. Each group
takes part in a different activity
each day and the groups alter
nate.
Holecek follows the weight
program developed by Emil Ma-
maliga, weight coach at Texas
A&M.
“A&M has the best weight
training program in the country.”
Holecek has his program high
ly organized, even the dressing
room procedure is organized.
“Youngsters want to have
something organized for them.
If you don’t have it highly orga
nized you are going to lose
them.”
Holecek has no discipline prob
lems in his classes; he attributes
this to organization.
Helping Holecek with his pro
gram are four student teachers
from Texas A&M.
“They are outstanding, they
contribute to my program from
their resources. If a boy wants
to become a good teacher he can
definitely do so through the pro
gram at Texas A&M,” Holecek
said.
Holecek explained when a new
unit is taken up he tells the
youngsters exactly what the ob
jectives for that particular unit
are. For example, in wrestling
the objectives are:
1) To maintain physical fit
ness.
2) To develop self-confidence.
3) To develop strength.
“Each individual unit has its
objectives which can in turn be
put into the overall objectives,”
Holecek said.
Holecek said the junior high
years are important years for
physical fitness training because
it is during this time the young
sters start a growth spurt. Prop
er training at this time enables
the student to utilize this grow th
to his advantage.
The program director does not
express the common complaint of
PE teachers of lacking facilities.
On the contrary, he praises the
facilities at A&M Consolidated
Junior High and said he has
“plenty of space.”
Even with a good program and
good facilities a PE program
cannot succeed if the students
have no desire to participate, he
said. This is not one of Holecek’s
problems. The boy’s in his classes
have plenty of desire.
class he is teaching fundamentals
rather than coaching.
“None of our PE units tie into
athletics,” he said.
Each student receives a grade
on the basis of skill tests, written
tests on sport rules and situa
tions, competition points, the stu
dent’s attitude, participation and
conduct.
Holecek explained the basic
difference in his athletic pro
gram and his PE program is in
Holecek doesn’t rely just on his
college training to make up his
PE program. He uses new ideas
brought to him by his student
teachers and last year he visited
the Beaumont School System
where he picked up some new
teaching techniques and ideas.
