PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN WILSON HIGH SCHOOL Until January 1, 1925, two years after the opening of the new high school build- ing, Wilson High School students had no form of indoor athletic training. A small number of the students by going out for some athletic team under the supervision of a. coach could receive physical training. However, for many reasons this could reach only a small per cent of the students in the high school, all of whom needed the physical as well as the mental training. The only way to reach the majority, therefore, was to have regular classes of physical education during school hours. To do this effectively a gymnasium and swimming pool are essential. Several senior classes in the past had left as gifts to the High School certain sums of money to be spent in equipping the gymnasium if one was built. The gradu- ating class of 1916 had left 3258.58 for this purpose, the class of 1918 had left 3450, and the class of 1921 had left 3349.48 This made a total of 31,058.06 to be spent for the equipment of a gymnasium. As seen by the fact that funds had been given as far back as 1916 towards a gymnasium for Wilson High School, this matter had been in the minds of the people of Wilson for quite a time. As a result, on May 27, 1921, Superintendent Coon and the Board of Educatio-n, backed by several civic clubs of the city, issued bonds totaling 335,000. Contracts were let for constructing the swimming pool and for building and furnishing the gymnasium in the space provided for in the left wing of the new high school building, which was completed in 1923. The new gymnasium and swimming pool were ready for occupancy on January 1, 1925. Super- intendent Coon had led the way to a thorough physical education for the high school students of Wilson County as he had already so thoroughly led the way to a complete mental education for all the students of the county. Upon the completion of the gym and swimming pool the sought-after physical education classes were begun. These classes were scheduled for practically every period in the school day except the two lunch periods. All students in the high school build- ing were required to take a daily class of physical training unless already taking athletic training as a member of one of the athletic squads or unless he or she had some very acceptable excuse. The girls' classes of physical work were to be held separately from the boys' classes. The boys and the girls were to use the gym on alternate days and the pool on alternate days. On the days the boys were using the gym, the girls would be using the pool, and vice versa. The first instruction of the physical education classes was done by Mr. Rockhill for the boys, and Miss Hilt for the girls. For the past two years this Work has been very successfully carried on by Mr. McWherter for the boys, and Miss Taylor for the girls. All of these physical education instructors have also coached the various athletic teams of the high school. There is no doubt that the new gymnasium and swimming pool and the addition of physical education classes in the Wilson High School have been and will be in the future extremely beneficial to the students of the school.

A great number of the lassies were on hand to prepare to uphold the wonderful record made by last year's team. After a few weeks or practice the Wilson High girls were to have met Elm City, but Elm City failed to bring enough players, which gave Wilson a 2 to 0 victory. The next contest was also staged against Elm City. A hard-fought battle resulted in a Wilson victory of 29-21. The fair tossers of Wilson met Rocky Mount the following week on the local court. Newsome, the captain of the Wilson team, and Lucas of Rocky Mount, led the scoring for their respective teams. The result was a decided Wilson victory with the score of 36-24. The next encounter was with the Fayetteville sextet. The game was featured by accurate shooting and almost uncanny pass work. Walston featured the Wilson side of a 33 to 16 score. Amerson, Newsome, and Burden also starred for the locals, while Morris and Gallup played well for the visitors. Wilson next met the Methodist Orphans, one of the fastest teams in the state. However, the locals entered with the fighting spirit and emerged with the large end of a 35 to 15 score. Amerson led the locals in scoring as well as in the other phases of the game. Walston and Gibbs of Wilson High and Wilson and Lassiter of the Orphanage, featured the play as well. The Wilson players recorded their sixth consecutive victory when they defeated the Wilmington basketeers by a score of 44-12. The fracas was featured by scoring spurts and spectacular pass work. Newsome of Wilson tied Taylor of Wilmington for high scores, while Hughes featured Wilson's defensive play. The Blue and Gold sextet played their first game away from home against their former rivals, the Methodist Orphanage. The Orphans, determined to wreak vengeance for their previous defeat at the hands of the Wilson girls, handed Wilson their first thus far in the season. Cobb and Wilson were largely responsible for this 34-24 de- feat. Amerson on the offensive, and Hughes on the defensive, were the outstanding lights of Wilson's play. The Blue and Gold lassies were determined to win and did win the next game by a 35-13 score, which somewhat offset their defeat of the previous week. Newsome and Amerson of Wilson, were deadlocked for scoring honors. With the start that the locals have of seven victories out of eight games, great results are expected of them as they enter the championship series on February 25.
