The sport of basketball promotes good, healthy sportsmanship and keeps students in top physical condition. Boys' physical education at Alameda High is a well-balanced program designed to build a solid character and to mold a sturdy body. Through healthy competition among them- selves, these boys learn the essentials of eo- operation and good sportsmanship. ln the varied sports program that is offered. boys can find the sport that suits them best. while sampling from among the other sports. The sports that are offered in the boys' physi- cal education program are volleyball, basket- ball, swimming, and touch football. A required course of hygiene and First aid is also included. Rugged exercise also forms a part of the curri- culum. Other sports such as track and baseball were eliminated from the P.E. program owing to the fact that our field was not available for use, but students next year will be able to take ad- vantage of these games when our field is re- opened. P.E. ls Pleasure With A Purpose The Girls' P.E. Department is divided into regular P.E. classes and Modern Dance. A variety of sports are enjoyed each semester, including such things as swimming, basketball, softball, hockey and speed-a-way. ln Modern Dance the girls work to improve their own dancing skills. They also study rhythm and compose dances. This year, for the first time. the Modern Dance classes, in co-operation with the music department, pre- sented a program for the Student Body. This training helps immensely in the development of poise and grace. The purpose of physical education is much more than the promotion of physical htness. P.li. gives a girl a chance to work with others in a group, as well as to develop her own skills. The Health lidueation program is also very important: the girls study personal hygiene. first aid and home nursing. Volleyball, one of many girls' sports offered, is a fast, active game enioyed by all.
