For this reason, Physical Education is re- quired every semester that a student is enrolled in high school, unless excused by a physician. Through the media of motor activities, obiectives of the P.E. program meet in- dividual needs of students by developing sportsmanship, cooperation, knowledge of rules, fundamental skills, and basic sports skills which will be of value in adult years. A requirement of sophomore girls is one semester of Modern Dance. All girls may participate in the Modern Dance program either in Orchesis or a regular dance class. For girls interested in competitive school sports, G.A.A. meets each day for one period and qualifies as a regular Physical Education class. Using a block rotation system, the boys' program includes football, gym- nastics, basketball, tennis, track, and field, softball, and volleyball. Regular programs of team and indi- vidual sports can be substituted by Tom Tom Girls, flag girls, princesses, and song girls who perform with the Apache band. Twice during the year, all students are tested for physical fitness by engaging in special exercises. Records are kept from year to year to measure the prog- ress of each student.
