Calisthenies were given more emphasis, and a wider variety of exercises was used. ln an effort to bring students closer to army and navy physical standards, an obstacle course, consisting of hurdles, fences, ii th way we ac pted th whole ditches. and other obstacles, was f' nes. program built.

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

You've seen him at Midway, you met again at the Gilbert and Marshall Islandsg in fact he's been blasting your sun in almost every battle since our phase of the war began. It was at these battles that he shot down six of your birdmen and brought glory to himself and Wfalnut Hills by Winning the Distinguished Flying Cross. There are 274 standing on the platform where Lieutenant Mehle stood in 1933. We're coming 274 strong to fight the things you represent with every- thing that's fine and decent. We ean't all be flyers, but you can bet your bottom yen, Hiro-Hito, that each of us will find his place on the War front, on the home front-on whatever front he can do the most to bring about your inevitable shattering defeat.
