Participation in some sport relieves the tension in mind and muscle alike; physical competition can be an outlet from a busy, hurried life. Everyone should learn to make a hobby of some sport. For this reason an adequate physical education program is maintained. The boys’ physical education classes, meeting three times a week, are supervised by Mr. James Fox and Mr. Burt Seidler. The year's activities include track, badminton, wrestling, volleyball, handball, ping-pong, soccer, apparatus competition, and baseball. Many boys enter extra-curricular competition which includes volleyball, ping-pong, and baseball. 24 4
