Each semester of PE had a unique group of activities, decided upon from such aspects as the student's year in school, his needs and abilities and available facilities. Freshmen usually took courses which were not offered to them in iunior high. Beginning gymnastics, wrestling and archery proved to be challenging sports for most freshmen. Sophomores and iuniors were offered a wide variety of activities including soccer, weight training, field hockey and volleyball. Interested boys who had taken prerequisites progressed to ad- vanced classes. Courses were usually interrupted once or twice a week for boys to run the cross country and the obstacle course. Boys who participated in any PE class were required to run the cross country for a specific time. This included running around the track and school. Boys learned how to play a correct game of basketball in physical education. Rules and techniques of the game were taught to the boys by their teacher. 4 + .K New . - 1 . s 'Q c .kg ,T I
