1 i The state law requiring two credits in physical education went into effect at Tech, Septem- ber, 1932. Several courses are offered in which health is taught. In the hygiene and home nursing classes, pupils are taught the proper treatment for the sick. The pupils in the home econom- ics and dressmakiug classes are instructed as to the cor- rect selection ol' l'oods and clothing. Physiology e mb o d i e s the science of correct living, which implies a knowledge of the hygienic care as well ' ' sg Q0 7 i -L ?gfL'.- j' X ww-M, f .

Emphasis is placed upon the correct selection of foods, the proper amount to eat, and the ways of exercising and of creating a feeling of health consciousness which is so vital to man's well-being. The girls' physical training classes offer an all- round athletic program to those enrolled. Games of volley ball, indoor baseball, basketball, and other sports are regularly conducted. In the spring and fall hundreds of girls compete in the tennis tour- nament. A physical efliciency test which includes run- ning, jumping, tumbling, dancing, an-d all kinds of acrobatics is given to the girls. Corrective exercises, which are performed weekly in one class, are of spe- cial healthful benefit. For distinguished work in girls, athletics, monograms and A. T. S. buttons are awarded. Annually the classes have a Play Day when Girls in Physical Education the girls compete in basketball throws, hop-step-jump, soccer kick, relays, high jumping, broad jumping, and fifty-yard dashes. Ribbons are given as awards to the three highest in each event. Every day for forty minutes eight hundred one boys meet in the boys, physical education classes to develop their speed, agility, accuracy, strength, and endurance. They practice the broad jump, the high jump, and the fifty-yard dash. Indoor sports consist of volley ball, soccer, bas- ketball, chinning-the-bar, high jumping, and baskets- per-minute. Outdoor sports consist of baseball, track, tennis, and field events, performed on the practice recreation field. Special recognition should be given to the First Aid department which is supervised by a trained nurse who is registered by the Indiana State Board, and who has had Public Health experience. Four rooms make up this division: the dental clinic, a rest room with cots for girls, a rest room with cots for boys, and the oflice. The work of the First Aid department includes treatment for cuts, burns, bruises, sprains, observa- tion of skin eruptions and sore throats. The student assistants are selected from the Nursing I classes on the basis of scholarship, person- ality, attendance, and interest shown in the nursing profession. A medical inspector is sent to the school on Tues- days and Fridays by the City Board of Health. He advises, but does not prescribe. He refers the pupil to the family doctor or clinic for necessary treatment. Football returned to the city schools after a thirteen-year absence, the fall of 1920.

This year the team completed a very suc- cessful season. . Each spring Tech is host to racquet wielders competing in the North Central ,Tennis Conference which brings together the best of the younger players in the state. Last spring Tech won the singles and the doubles in the conference. Very interesting matches are held with the other schools of the city, and rivalry runs high. The team also plays matches with teams out of the city. A letter is awarded to any boy wl1o has been on the team three years. The eight tennis courts, which are available to any pupil interested in the game, are kept in perfect playing condition during the tennis season. Basketball has played an important role in the sports activities of Tech. Every year nearly five hun- dred boys report for basketball practice. Out of this number, one hundred are chosen to fill the positions on the freshman, reserve, and varsity teams. Basketball provides excellent exercise and train- ing. It develops the pupils both mentally and phys- ically, training the mind and muscles to coordinate. Tech is a member of the North Central Indiana Basketball Conference which is an association olf the strongest teams in the middle and northern por- Boys in Physical Education tions of the state. The schedule for the team is made up with these ten teams and with the other strong teams from over the state. One of the primary interests in any sport is to further bodily development, this Tech's track team tries to have for its first aim. An interesting chart, bearing the name of each track man and marked off in spaces for all forms of track, such as long and short distance running, vault- ing, and shot-putting, has been devised. In these spaces the coach inserts the times or distances a boy has made and a certain number of points in propor- tion to the excellence of his attempt. Although this system is in use throughout the athlete's career, it is stressed mostly in his freshman and sophomore years where he runs the whole series of events before re- peating any one event. A boy at Tech stays out for track because he enjoys the members of the team and because he likes to run. In keeping with this same spirit, no one is ever cut from the track team, and everyone has an equal opportunity to run. Because of this system, Tech's track team always stands high among other track teams in the state. Tech's track team this year had a most successful season. The season's scores were: Tech, 15, Man- ual, -LO3 Tech, 15, Warren Central, 40, and Tech, '51, Washington, 34. 'if AQ H751 1, W .Ap JV' ,-f f'0 ,M i lr fi tri 4 FQG'-'?,I'6? rpjfwgdflxiia I if.
