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.

To arouse a greater interest in the reading of good books, Miss Pullen, the libra- rian, sponsored a contest, in which prizes were offered for the best original advertise- ment and for the best original poster setting forth the benefits and pleasures of good reading. Both prizes were won by Thomas Early of the ninth grade. Two chapel programs were prepared in celebration of Book Week. The first con- sisted of four-minute speeches made by several students. The speeches were on sub- jects pertaining to reading. According to a previous announcement, a prize was awarded to the student making the lccst speech. This was won by Eugene Spivey of the tenth grade. On the second morning scenes frcm well-known books were dramatized. Among these were dramatizations from Daddy Long-Legsf' Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch, Miss Minerva's Baby, Treasure Island, and Our Mutual Friend. xv 12 ji fL 31 xg gy: 42.9 f A GIFT TO THE LIBRARY By way of appreciation, we wish to acknowledge on this page a gift of three hun- dred and fifteen volumes presented to the library by Mrs. Gordon Hately of Richmond, Va. These books formerly belonged to the private library of the late Mrs. A. A. Basye, who was at all times a staunch supporter of the schools as well as of all movements relating to the welfare of our community. The books have been placed in a special section of the library and will be known as the t'Alla B. Basye Collection. img pwg QXIIL CHAPEL PROGRAMS Our chapel exercises are never dull, but the plan of having a grade section re- sponsible for one program each week has made the interest more keen. The plan has given opportunity for the development of talent throughout the school and has brought to light ability that might otherwise have remained undiscovered. Special exercises were given in celebration of Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Lincoln's birthday, Washington's birthday, and Saint Patrick's Day. Other programs dealt with sketches from famous operas, story-telling, North Carolina history, current events, music, and ideals of character. On the whole the programs have been characterized by dignity and seriousness of effort and have been the source of much profit as well as entertainment.
