But there was another phase of the the cjuestion that evidenced itself as the season progressed. Our fine sense of sportsmanship and general attitude drew the respect of every team in the league and despite the inexperience of most of our players the games were packed with thrills and magnificent plays. '4Mac McAllister and Tom Linehan alternated as pitcher while Roger Conklin took over Larry Goodmanffs spot as catcher. John Needham played his first season at first base, while Mike Iddings and Dick Karweck handled second and third re spectively. Short -stop was ably held by Don Young and center field by Ross Mc- Carthy. Chris Ruthven and VValt Bement vied for right field while Linford 'Croll played left field. Although our glory did not rise to the greatest heights during the past year we are earnestly looking forward to other years when we can capture honors in sportsmanship and ability alike. 26 K u

PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM As a result of the stimulated interest shown in physical recreation tlirol1S'l10Ut the school, the first annual Physical Education Demonstration was Dfeseflted in the gymnasium March 26, 1941. Mr. David G. Miller, Physical iI1Stl'UCt0l', Dlanmffl and directed thisr huge program which was witnessed by more than 700 lp-eoplc. The demonstration consisted of twelve distinctive parts, each of which related directly to one or more phases of physical development. So that every class might benefit by the defmonst-ration, grades 1 through 12 participated actively in the various presentations given. Children of the lower grades. mfost frequently participated in the exercises dealing wfth rhythms and mimeti-cs, group, relay, and team. games, recreational marching, posture and dual combat. Each grade, starting with the first, was repre- sented by a definite stage of physical development. The main ideal behind this, is that the program taught in school complies with the mentality of the average youngster in a particular grade. That is, those in the fourth grade are more adapt- ed to games related to teamwork than those in the first grade and pupils of the eighth grade are more adapted to individualized training than. pupils of th.e fourth grade. Thius, each. succeeding class is fatrther advanced in .phystifcal training as a result of a definite program which is carried out during the entire school career of a student. The second half of the demonstration was comprised mainly of junior and sen- ior high students participation in team and recreational net games tvolley ball, deck tennis, badminton, and table tennisl, basketball, tumbling and stunts and work with heavy apparatus. The chief purpose of the various net games lies in the fact that they require no special skill nor do they call for expensive and cum- bersome materials in order to take an active part in them. They may be, therefore, carried over in college or used in outside recreation. Basketball, .being one of the most popular indoor sports, is highly encouraged among junior high boys and girls. It is not only fine for developing physical strength and coordination but, to some extent, also enriches the mind. It will ibuild material for future basket- ball teams and bring about more active interest in sports as a whole. Tumbling and work with heavy apparatus developes the upper arm and back. Strength, good form, balance and coordination are the most important requirements for these two sports. The presentations themselves were extremely well done and s-howed an enormous amount of work. The Physical Education Demonstration was chiefly presented for the .benefit of parents of the community. It endeavored to show them what is being done in Phelps Central School concer ' ff th ' - students. 11100 - 0 Dhyslcal development. andlwell being of its 28.
