It is up to the students of today to over-- come this obstacle by learning to speak foreign languages. Then, in fu- ture years to come, we shall under-- stand more and more the customs and conditions of our foreign neighbors. Some of the greatest leaders of our country could never have gone to other countries and accomplished what they have if they had not learned the language of that particular country. And so we say, Thank you , to the teachers for their help in trying to im- prove and broaden the minds of stu- dents, by teaching them the languages of some of our foreign neighbors. A-. AGNES B.

This rosy picture should not make one think that all is honey and orchids with the commercial workers. Their job is not easy. However, their training, which stresses accur- acy above all else, enables them to face the future with self-assurance. VERDA GILARHART EM MA BELLE HAUCH IRLNI: MCKINNEY RAYMOND MORGAN ALMA I.

CLARK Smirrrzn PHYLLIS Louc. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT U -3 ff-.: BLANCHH Rooms ALICE RUTI-EDGE CARL WAUGAMAN School Nurse Physical education has acquired and will continue to acquire a greater significance since it has come to be regarded as a method of education, rather than a program designed for physical development alone. Physical education Works for the coordination ol mind and muscle. Health is only one ot the major ob- jectives. The development of the so- cial qualities oi courage, initiative, honesty, cooperation, and self-conti- dence are among the other objectives. Another purpose of physical educa- tion is to build bodies tempered by wholesome social and personal traits. There can be no denial that the boys like to gloat over swelling biceps, lim- ber back bones, and iron-walled abdo mens, and the girls over narrow Waist lines and tapering hips.
