Q91 This year the physical education Work has been reinstated as a department. As a result of the school's requirement of three years of physical education for graduation, the number of classes has now been increased to four each for boys and girls. These classes meet three times each Week, one period being devoted to health and hygiene, and the other two to regular gym Work. Under the direction of Mr. Childers, Miss 0'Neal, and later Miss Olsen, many new types of training have been added to the traditional physical education Work. Both boys and girls are now privileged to participate in basketball, baseball, track, tennis, volley ball, and gymnastics.

Probably one of the most successful and enjoyable proj- ects ever sponsored by this department Was the Gym Exhibit of PACE T ENTX SIX
