It is a rcc[iiircment that all students enjoy tor they are afforded many worth- while classes— golf, bowling, tennis, swimming, volley- ball, basketball, badminton, daiiiing — and many others. .Many courses are ollered in theory and prac- tice ot the active sports which any student may take who desires to teach. , student may get a majcjr or miiKji in Phxsiial Education after completing the necessary comses. The departmem (jllers scholarshi])s to those with unusual abilities for participation in football and basketball. This opportimity makes it possible for many to attend college, who perhaps might not have been able to do so— plus providing MT.SC with some very fine teams with high spirit instilled by the coaches. The health coiu ' ses are a eiy worthwhile and fitting diversion of the physical eclucatioir depait- ment. To be perfectly exact, we should refer to this as the health, recreation, and physical education de- partment, for it certainly is a balanced combination. The health courses are recjuired for an elementary certificate. The capable directions in this departmem ha c fostered a fine intranmral program— the likes ol whicli have never before been ecjuafed at MTSC. The stu- dents have been divided into teams and compete in each seasonal sport. This program has aroused great enthusiasm among the entire student body.

Its importance can never be over-emphasized. The training received here under the very capable and alert faculty is of more practical benefit to the MTSC student than any other experience during the four year span in attain- ing a degree. Here is a real opportunity for students to put to use, in typical situations, the knowledge they have received. Many of the problems the practice teacher faces will be the same he will come up against when he has a teaching position of his own. These problems can be handled much easier and more accurately because of this practical experience here. The Training .School maintains very high educational standards and in- sjjires us as future teachers to higher ideals and goals. Our success here is a glimpse at the future vhcn ive vill be completely on our own initiative. Students are afforded the opportunity to become ;k- t|iiainted vith and use tlie materials and ecpiipmeut in order to achie e the best results from their work. Students have conferences with their respective super- vising teachers to clear up many of their problems and coordinate their work.
