Y 4 Some tormts!!! Time out. Strike!!! lt's the Indian in them. The program of activities in the Girls' Physical Education Department is a varied and in- teresting one. The team sports Whichprove favorites for all are baseball, volley ball, and Captain Ball, and the individual activities in which they participate are golt, archery, tennis, tumbling and rhythmics. The classes are organized so that each class spends three Weeks at each activity and has six activities each term. This frequent changing ot activities makes it possible for every girl to develop her individual interests. On days when there are assemblies and the periods are shortened, or when the Weather is too bad to go out-ot-doors the girls gather in the gym and engage in social dancing to the accompaniment of the nickelodeon. This always proves a popular activity. The girls in the Physical Education IV Class, all oi Whom are advanced students, have developed an interest in handball during the spring term. Mrs. Lord teaches this group, also sharing their enthusiasm in the new activity. 'W' P ffm!

Remember those mornings of drills to perfect the performance for the Week-end game? Then who could forget the exciting moments when the Eagles upset Tivy, when We Went on that eventful Halloween special train to Austin Where We presented our Skeleton-Dance and tumbling acts, and, above all, when We won the Turkey-Day game over Iefferson. That was the time We put our best foot forward in co-operation with the R.O.T.C. officers and sponsors in present- ing a formation covering the Whole field. While the Purple Iackets formed a huge heart, a banner reading God Bless America Was carried across the field led by three P.I.'s depicting Uncle Sam, the American Eagle, and the goddess of liberty. Yes, those are gems in our memories of Brackenridge. any. mascot Annette Selcher

Each term a class in Special Physical Education is offered for those girls who are not physically able to participate in the regular classes. During the tall term Miss Rector taught this class and the girls played badminton, paddle tennis, Croquet, golf, archery, and darts. Miss Martin has taught the class during the spring term in Which the girls have studied First Aid. Near the end of the tall term all of the girls in the Physical Education classes were given an opportunity to volunteer for Civilian Defense. Among the special groups for which they registered were Nurses' Aid Corps, Messenger Service, and Emergency Food and Housing Corps. The girls' response to this call was commendable, and many are now being trained in some phase of the Work. E Fore! Betty Lou Stolte takes a turn at golf.
