Supplementing varsity competition in the major sports, a modified ver¬ sion of regulation football, basketball, volleyball, soc¬ cer, tennis, archery, field hockey, and softball are taught to the girls in gym class. A variety of intramural sports encourages the values of sportsmanship and competi¬ tion. The winning teams are awarded letters and tro¬ phies at an annual banquet. Keeping each boy physically fit not only now, but also in later life, is the main objective of the boys’ ath¬ letic program. Golf, tennis, volleyball, wrestling, gym¬ nastics, and weight training are some of the activities in which the boys are instructed. The importance of carry over sports is stressed in both sections of the Physical Education Department.
