Will that ball go through the basket or not seems to be the predominate question in the minds of sophomores as they play a game in gym. One of the first things a visitor at Abington notices is the great hangar-type dome that dominates the horizon. This and the adjoining building house our physical education department. The physical education classes teach students the rudiments, and eventually the finer points of basket- ball, badminton, volleyball, golf, swimming, football, and social dancing. These improve the sportsmanship, coordination, and general physical fitness of Abing- tonians. Health education, also part of the course, instructs future citizens in the proper attitude toward the life they will face once they graduate. lVith Mr. Naumann, Miss Margerum, and the swim- ming aides teaching, much progress was made in swim- ming class. The swimming aides, a recent innovation at A. H. S., volunteer to instruct students and to dem- onstrate swimming skills. Some of them have passed their junior and senior lifesaving test: and others have passed their water safety aid course and are capable of handling classes without teacher supervision. They willingly give up their study halls to help other stu- dents. The swimming aides include: Pat McNeal Tom Little Peggy Andersen Frank Davey Barbara Smerke Andy Dieseinger Carol XVagner lane Lyon Bob Schwinger Students kick up a storm while going through basic instruc- tion in the necessary art of swimming.
