CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY Regular courses are given in the high school, business, and music departments. In the high school department a semesters work is completed in the subjects offered. Minnehaha Academy has cool, airy buildings, surrounded by a large wooded campus. This setting makes the school an ideal place for taking a summer course. The sessions begin at 8 oiclock in the morning and close at 1 oiclock noon. The summer school enables students to shorten their courses consider- ably. Gymnastics and Athletics Since the addition of the new building in 1922, the gymnasium and athletic work has taken on a new aspect and attained greater propor- tions. Regular classes in calisthenics are held four afternoons a week, two classes for boys and two for girls. These classes include various kinds of gymnastics such as setting up exercises and military drill. After a twenty minute workout, pickup games in basketball are generally played. Attendance at gymnastics is compulsory, only those being exempted who are physically unable and those hindered by work. These classes are in Charge of the regular teachers of the school. With as fine a gymnasium as is to be found in any high school in the Twin Cities, with a full size regulation basket ball court, and with locker rooms and shower baths adjoining, the conditions for indoor athletics are ideal. Basket ball is the outstanding game played and the school enters into competition with outside schools, but the interscholastic games are restricted to the Christian schools. Both the boys and the girls have a basket ball team each season under the expert training of a coach. A base ball team and a track team are also organized which take part in an annual field day event with one of fhe bove mentioned schools.
