The youngsters at Tappan Junior High have looked forward to their physical education classes with particular enthusiasm this winter and little wonder. Their instructor is Michigan All-American Cazzie Russell who spends 15 hours a week at the school as student teacher. Here, Russell helps Tom Dillman in a tumbling session but what the kids really like is when Russell demonstrates basketball.
