 Physical Education has a unique job - building sound bodies. Down-two-three four, up-two- three-four . . No. this isn't the count to a new dance step. It s the count to a new exercise that Miss Bovard is using to get the girts at Baker into excellent physical condition. If you should happen to accidentally walk into the boys gym during class, you would probably see the boys doing what they call the 'killer-exercise, lifting the feet six inches from the floor and holding them there for thirty seconds. And how about that shrill whist e Mrs. Ritchie uses when her 7th and 8th grado girls are playing an exhilarating gome of volleyball! As all the students at Baker High School can sure'y tell you, the physical education program at dieir school is a particularly strenuous and invigorating one, but is reole with a number of funsies,” like boxing, basketball, archery, football, soccer, swimming and recreational genes. These along with calisthenics and subjects like first aid and health, go into the making of a well-rounded physical education program. Certainly the ingredients are all there—useful equ’pment, interested teache'S, and a cooperative student body. Do you have problems, Miss Bovard? Some of thoso tost papers are harder for her to grado than for the studont to ta co.
