Emphasis Was Placed On Physical Fitness A two-year course in physical education is required for every girl at C. H. S. Fresh- man and sophomore girls participate in var- ious athletic activities each semester. The first semester is devoted to learning and prac- ticing the laws and plays of basketball and volleyball. Tumbling skills, wiffle ball, bad- minton, and ping-pong claim the second se- mester for girls in physical education. Two years of physical education is com- pulsory for boys who do not participate in any of Clinton High School’s competitive athletic programs. The two semesters each year are spent in learning the skills of volleyball, bas- ketball, relays, weight lifting, and wrestling. Miss Dowdy is the girls’ division instruc- tor and Mr. Svyantek and Mr. Izor conduct boys’ classes in gym. .......52-2-3-4.......53-2-3-4........54-2-3-4.......
