GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION The gym class meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:15 with Miss O’Neil in charge. The first ten or fifteen minutes of the period are devoted to calisthenics. After this formal period, captains for volley ball or basketball are appointed, and these choose up sides. In- door baseball is also sometimes played. Basketball seems to be the favorite game during cold weather. During the warm weather, the girls may be seen on the athletic field jumping the hurdles or playing indoor baseball. Gym is not required for girls, but it affords a good and whole- some exercise that is so valuable and much needed for most girls. Extra curricular credit is given for this work. Girls in the class this year are Irene Poledna, Hazel Ellis, Della Prawitz, Venetha Wendt, Ruth Baumann, Clara Hensel, Evelyn Benne, Nellie Miller, Verna Stewart, Eunice Woerman, Orva Zeplin, Melva Risse, Eunice Englehart, Margaret Graunke, Lucille Groene, Cora Frankfurt, Delores Goranson, Martha Somer, Violet Pahl, Helen Grosse, Beulah Goranson, Elsie Reher, Esther Kollmorgan, Opal Luedtke, Margaret Karl, Alma Jensen, Irene Graunke, Winona Miserez.
