Physical Education is one of the classes the boys of Edison look forward to. In this class two days a Week are devoted to the playing of sports in season, one day for Wholesome Living, where the boys learn good manners and hygienic habits, another for exercises and drill Work, and another for decatholon events Where the boys Work hard to gain points for their letters. During the lunch periods, there is another chance for the boys to earn points by play- ing on the noon teams. The homerooms have been urged to select a team and come out and play other homerooms after school. The boys who are ineligible to play at noon have a chance to make a playground letter by playing on their homeroom teams and getting points for Winning games or by staying an hour after school on the ground and helping Mr. Henderson, the sponsor, with playground Work. There are four big clubs at Edison for boys. They are the Tigers, Wildcats, Wolves and Pirates. Mr. Fulton is sponsor of the Tigers, Mr. Webb of the Wildcats, Mr. Finch of the Wolves and Mr. McMillian of the Pirates. The four clubs are picked in equal numbers from all the boys in school. Our men of the faculty as Well as our students are in- terested in athletics. The Edison Faculty teams got oif to a flying start in volley ball by taking second place. Central Junior High took first after a hard fought battle with Edi- son. Spring baseball had the Edison rooters cheering for the faculty team too. Mr- Finch zipping them over like no- body's businessg Mr. Espy choking a fly, Oh boy! that's the kind of baseball our school wants and gets. The instructors of the Physical Education Department are Mr. Fulton, Mr. Finch, Mr. McMillian, Mr. Henderson, and Mr. Webb- In the pages to follow you Will find the pic- tures and Write-ups of your favorite Winning team.
