East was indeed fortunate in procuring such an eflicient teacher, and the girls have shown their appre- ciation by 334 being enrolled in the department. The work here had not been under way quite a month when the Flag and Field day exercises were held. Here East took her place beside the others with a sword dance given by 120 girls, a very creditable event. The next event of the year's work was the organizing of basketball from which these three teams were formed, the Senior basketball team, with Geraldine Lewis as captain, the Junior team, with Mary Rousculp, and the Sophomore team with Evelyn Boggoss. With the spring season the girls were busy, both in the gym and out with their rackets and tennis ball, which sport brought forth talent along this line as well. Both teachers and pupils were eagerly watching this department grow. On April, a basketball game was held between the women members of the faculty and a picked team among the girls, the money to go toward tennis equipment. g Another spring sport among the girls was baseball. Two teams were organized, the captains of which were Marie Yaeckle and Mary Rousculp. The culmination of year's work was the Physical Education Exhibition which was held the latter part of the school term. It was a great success and showed the work of the pupils during the year, to have been entirely satisfactory to parents, teachers and pupils. , Bupa' Bbpsinal Ciilmnatiun The recently introduced Physical Education Department at East High with Joseph A. Stevens as an instructor, makes compulsory for all boys a thorough physical examination on entrance and a systematized course of instruction and directed sports. Miniature or under-study Western and Ohio Conference basket ball leagues were instituted under Mr. Steven's supervision. Inter-school and inter-class track meets and indoor tennis were scheduled. The introduction of a new remedial Treatment-Training course in the department of physical education at East High School again put Co- lumbus schools in the limelight for progressive educational methods. The two-fold aim of this surgical supplement to the usual athletic de- partment is the early diagnosing and immediate progressive remedying of such common physical defects as curvature of the spine, round shoulders, hollow chest, flat feet, wrong posture, bad walking, under-weight and similar correctable menaces to health.

Brophy. While living in Columbus Mr. Brophy attended Aquinas College. He later went to Columbia University where he was one of the few students to graduate from the college of Manual Training. East High can well feel pride in her Manual Training Department and its splendid equipment. The students are taking a great interest in this work and have made some wonderful pieces of work, furnishing their own material. 22 H
