GLENN Modern dance Skill in gymnastics is shown here by Jack Zabriskie and Ed Reilly as they join hands on the trampoline for a double front flip. These boys in the apparatus gym class meet every day to perfect their co-ordination on the many pieces of equipment. Physical Education Brings Relaxation Often the student becomes bogged-down with homework and classroom routine. One refreshing way to relieve mental fatigue is physical exercise. One year of physical edu- cation and one semester of health are required at East high school. The alternative for boys is the ROTC pro- gram in which marching and drilling replace basketball and baseball. The gym classes offer students a chance to improve their co-ordination and agility while enjoying popular sports. Girls are taught ball- room dancing in addition to the basic skills of golf, tennis, basketball, volleyball and other sports. ln both boys' and girls' physical educa- tion, classes often form teams and organize tournaments, Health courses last one semester and in- clude a study of the human body, tips on good grooming and a six-weeks' course in first aid. Apparatus gym is offered to boys with gymnastic skill or interest. The trampoline, rings, mats, high and low bars, parallel bars and side horse are available to the boys during their gym period, The utmost care is taken by teachers and students alike to prevent acci- dents.

During lunch periods, male teachers were assigned to supervise the lunchroom and grounds, making certain that students ob- served the rules set up for their own benefit. Because many students were excused early in the day, the afternoon classes were dis- turbed by people wandering through the halls. Several teachers composed a hall detail, patrolling during the afternoon to decrease the number of unauthorized wanderers. When school dances were held, many teachers were invited to attend as honored guests, a glorified name for chaperones. They sat patiently for the duration of the dance, sometimes relieving the other teachers who were checking bids at the door. Other faculty members volunteered their time as club sponsors. They presided over meetings twice a month and were available to club members for information and advice dur- ing the day, They also accompanied the stu- dents on excursions to various places having a significance to their club. Before and after school the teachers gave special assistance and make-up work to stu- dents who had been absent. T 2 3 ! 5 2 2 ' t W Q- V! uf 4-X in ad
