WE GET HUUGHEH A U TU GHEH V ITH EALISTHE If v 4 n ! x i i Doing a rowing exercise, Xvalnut Hills boys prepare themselves for the future. Our government's demand for physically fit men and women has increased the importance of physical educa- tion in our lives. Walnut Hills is primarily an academic sehoolg however we are showing that brain and brawn can go hand in hand. Exercises are being given to the girls as well as the boys to toughen them up for the jobs which lie ahead. Strong bodies are needed for increased duties in our homes, for tedious hours on the swing shift, and for meeting and defeating the enemy wherever he may be found. Health and strength are more vital to growing boys and girls now than ever before, sinee it is the minds and bodies trained today which will soon be fighting for our tomorrow. Page 28
