GIRLS PHYSICAL The girls in the Physical Education Depart- ment are fortunate to have many different types of equipment. New equipment is pur- chased with the money raised by the Girls' Physical Education Club. Calisthenics are an important part of the daily routine 'of the physical education pro- gram. Many different exercises are used to develop strength and gracefulness. The program for this year began with the recreational games of darts, ring tennis, horse- shoes, hand ball, shuffleboard, and bowling. This is the first time the department has had bowling equipment. The classes were divided into four groups and each group rotated to a different sport each week. A game of darts consists of 100 points.
