PHYSICAI EDUCA TION The whole person is one who has a trained body as well as a trained mind and here at Balmoral Hall, Physical Education is becoming an important part of our School programme. A widening circle of opportunities in our games world provides every girl with a chance to participate, and foolish is the student who passes by the opportunity to learn some new skill each year. Increased participation in inter-School games, continued keen and enthusiastic rivalry in House matches and the eagerness of new girls to learn new skills, emphasize the importance of our physical education programme today. For whom is the games programme? The athlete enjoys the challenge which combines an alert mind, enthusiasm, purpose, teamwork and physical stamina. The student recognizes the valuable mental relaxation provided by a games period. A physically exhausting match can sometimes be just the refreshment needed to solve an academic problem. The development of a strong and healthy body is only one of the many facets of physical education. More significant are the character-building qualities, which games seem to instill in the more active participants - comradeship, leadership and sportsmanship. Friendships often develop from competitive spirits striving together to attain a common goal. On the games field and in the gymnasium are found opportunities to lead, and there too one learns a willingness to be led. Most important is the gradual growth of true sportsmanship. Beginning with games in the junior school and right on to the last school match, the student is learning how to play the game fairly and to accept the outcome in a sportsmanlike manner, whether the result be victory or defeat. This surely is a training for life. To set the cause above renown, To love the game beyond the prizef' H. J. NEWBOLT SUSAN BRACKEN - Editor Firr'
