Bergstrom PHYSICAL and HEALTH EIIUCATIUN The complete rounding out of every student in school today. is his training in physical education. which helps to build strong bodies. We are able to attain this goal through competitive sports and activities. Likewise. Health Educa- tion. which in the past year has become required in the cur- riculum. tends indirectly to strengthen us by teaching proper use and care of our bodies. The Clinic forms a quiet. restful corner when a student is physically incapable of continuing his studies. besides being a Rehabilitation Centeru when the need calls for such. SVYININIING Under the tutelage of Mr. C. John Warren and Miss Anne lVlcllhenney. the students of this school receive excellent instruction in the art of swimming. an ideal coordinator of mind and body activity. We are fortunate to have this as a part of our curricula for it provides an opportunity to gain relaxation and to escape the mental hurdles presented to us in the classroom. The various programs of the year includ- ing the boys' interscholastic 'imeetsi' and girls' water carnival. add greatly to the happiness and joy of every Kensington student.
