2I2o! That's the boiling point of water! Mrs. Nowlan and Sandra Geagley stare at the thermometer in amazement. Barbara Coates iust sits there stunned. Upward and onward is Roosevelfs motto as proven . by Sandra Edwards and Joyce Farrah. ,fc fl The gym class-the hour which most pupils look forward to-is greatly welcome after the stitT posture maintained in the classroom throughout the school day. Most young people today are interested in sports, and the values of good sportsmanship gained through experience in teamwork far outlive the gym class. It must be pointed out that competitive games and calisthenics are not the only phases of physical edu- cation. Hygiene, necessary in broadening physical knowledge, makes its appearance in an array of classes. Some teach cleanliness, some, nutrition, and some, care of others. Besides the games and the competitions there are many little things that add color to the gym class. Everyone remembers dressing at breakneck speed to be on time for the next class, or the boys standing around to laugh at the girls trying their best to play basketball. Even more vivid are the contortions arising from the average exercise, and the horrible clutching pain of sore stomach muscles afterward. Though gym may be remembered by some as only a place for fun, others realize that this is the only time of the school day that pupils turn once again into boys and girls, playing as children unmindful of their outside cares. .IANE S.
