r 'ifigtla X . ' A2ff. A,A: . 1l.1 3 9 7 iii Who afre, who afre, who are we We are health and e7,Wc'iencry! UST hear that yell, Nellie New Girl! That's the Hamilton Health Club. Come on out to the gym and I'll tell you all about it and show you what we do. Every girl at Hamilton wants to belong to this Health Club. It was started just this year and every junior higii school in the city has one. You should see the girls who belong to this club. They must have good feet, straight spines, rosy cheeks, weight just right, good posture, shining teeth and must not bite their finger nails. They have the best times-for they have programs, initiation parties and banquets. Here we are in the Physical Education department. I'll introduce you to our teachers. Here are Mrs. Howe and Mrs. Harriman, who have regular physical edu- cation, and Miss Beard, who has orthope- dic. Mrs. Funk is our school nurse. Come on, Nellie, and look at our bulle- tin board. That poster, showing the ther- mometers, tells us how the contest between the Orange and the Black is coming. Every girl in our school belongs to one or the other of these two teams. The streamers across the girls' shoulders show to which team they belong. It looks as if the Orange is going to win this year. These pictures show the letter H, which the girls formed at the boys' track meet this year. There were almost two hundred girls in it. We used orange and black pom- poms for th e figures. Some people say that ours looked as good, or better, than any of the others. Baseball season is on now and here is the lschedule for the games. We have splendid lclass teams and the girls work hard to get lon them. Let's go out doors and see them ipratice. We will take this way out thru our dressing rooms. Don't you like them. Every gym day the girls, get a good shower. Sometimes the new girls don't like them ibut after they have been here awhile ,they wouldn't miss one for anything. This door leads to the playground.Most 'of the work is done out here in the sunshine. See how many girls come out for teams? Each quarter we play a different game, volley ball is first, basket ball is sec- ond, soccer is third and last of all comes baseball. Tennis is praticed the year around. The girls working after school are try- ing to make their letter H. This is no easy task as it takes at least two years. When they get two hundred points they get an emblem and for each hundred after that a chevron. Then when they get five hundred points the Hamilton H is awarded to them at a Girls' League meeting. There are many ways to earn these points besides making teams. Supply room monitors earn them, odo girls in orthopedic. They are obtained by passing postures tests or makeing good decathlon records. Leaders in classes receive them also. , Would you like to be a leader? You cer- tainly will have a chance at Hamilton.

, f W EillKl!lllI N IANEEWEE Each class is divided into squads and the girls select their squads leaders. Then all of the squads of one color have a leader appointed who is called either orange or b ack color captain. Over the orange color captains is a chief color captain and it is the same with the blacks. Then over all we have a Commissioner of Athletics. She represents our department on the Council, I want you to see our gymnasium too. Every class has one day a week in it. We have marching, formal work, posture tests, apparatus, tumbling and dancing--both ryth- mic and folk. Tonight the Rythmic Club is here. It meets every Thursday after school. This crowd in Mrs. Harriman's office is signing up for the big play day at Poly High next Saturday. We take four teams, tennis players and swimmers, and so does every Junior High in Long Beach. It's all for the fun of playing and getting acquainted with other girls. Though we do our best it doesn't break our hearts if we don't win. First will come a posture test. then the games, next thereis swimming for every-p one and all this is to be followed by a good luncheon and program in the cafeteria. p ...an , Lets go into the orthopedic room. Aren't these pieces of apparatus interesting? Here girls work to make themselves 100 percent physically fit. Look at these weight charts. One girl has gained 8 1-2 lbs. already this semester, and here is one following with a gain of 8 1-4 lbs. Believe me, it takes close following of health rules to gain that much. H In the fall you will find these rooms a veritable bee hive,with every girl in school taking a health examination. Everyone helps then and it doesn't take long to know just what a girl must do to make herself 100 percent. There is not room for everyone who needs h :lp to get into the orthopedic classes, so nearly all of us come in and learn exercises to do at home. Then wehave glbejtter chance to enter the Honor Health l u . You say that you would like to belong to this Health Club and win a letter H also. Fine! Come on and start tomorrow. Just listen to those girls-i l Away with cake and, candy, Away with pickles and pie, 0 Then come and join the Health Club i Of Hamwlltrm Jumor High. im? wi X ' ,lf ' Fifty-seven - , .,....,. t ... . ....
