A ipring try out. PHYSICAL EDOCfmOn ' The school is concerned with the health of its pupils, both physical and mental. There are important qualities, over and above intellectual ability, which are necessary for an integrated and sound human being. The human body must be healthy, fit for work, able to carry out the purposes of the mind. While traditionally man has been viewed as primarily a rational animal, his unconscious desires and sentiments sometimes becloud and sway his reason. Yet passions, although dangerous because primitive and even savage, are a source of strength if properly guided; they supply the driving forces for achievement. According to the ancient myth, reason is the charioteer that directs but is not the horse that pulls the chariot. In the complete man we look for initiative, zest and interest, strength of resolution, driving power. — all qualities that can be trained by physical education classes and activities.

STUDEflTS I am blood kin to all mankind I know. The stream that courses in my veins and yours springs from the infinite. Its ebb and flow are governed by a spirit that endures eternally. I go along the street, and where a thousand men, some weak, some strong, master and servant, kings and subjects meet, I find my kith and kin. These folk belong to me. For this I know and share the pride my brother feels for some fine end attained. His shame is mine, his hurt is pain to me, since blood and brotherhood are not denied. The stream flows on and will not be restrained, shaping its channel to infinity. One World by C. M. A. Rogers
