Calkins physical education department Yon and me, we J-wen! nur! .rlrfzin . . . A good mind is almost useless unless accompanied by a sound body and good health. To achieve these aims is the goal of the Physical Education Department. The gym and swim classes for the boys are taught by Profes- sors James B. Haddick and Benjamin Kennedy. The girls' physical ed classes are led by Mrs. Mildred Calkins, a graduate of the Mount Chester State Teachers College, and Miss Marjorie Young, a newcomer to the faculty this year. In addition to their regular class- work, Mrs. Calkins and Miss Young are the coaches of all of the girls' athletic teams, and direct the May Day program. This year, for the first time, there has also been an intramural athletic program run under the supervision of Professors David B. Eavenson and Robert L. Stultz. Prof. Smith is Director of Athletics and Swim- ming Coach. Prof. Horace Parker coaches the Tennis team, while Prof. Haddick has charge of football, basketball, and base- ball, and Prof. Kennedy wrestling and track. All in all, Sem has a wide range of athletic activities in which participate a larger number of students than ever before. It is to be hoped that this policy will be continued in the coming years, and will be expanded as much as is wise. A healthy student means a better scholar, and this is one way to keep him strong.
