hysical Ed classes strengthen the bod Physical education classes for Bloom boys and girls provide a relaxing change from the academic atmos- phere of their other daily classes. These classes are not only fun but also rewarding because the students benefit from the numerous facilities provided to strengthen the body, learn fundamentals and develop basic skills in many athletic endeavors. Students utilize such facilities such as the field house, swimming pool, tennis courts, hockey fields and other athletic equipment to the fullest. , Usually, class activity is changed every three or six weeks which allows time for a wide variety of sports to be played each year. Activities included are archery, trampo- lines, co-educational volleyball and dancing, swimming and gymnastics. All students at Bloom are required to take gym all four years of high school, every day of the week. This class helps to strenghten the mind and the body. The trampoline is one of the first activities introduced to the student at the Frosh-Soph Division. This freshman boy comes down for a front drop as his fellow students spot him. During alninth hour gym class, senior boys are busy building and strengthening their muscles on a new apparatus machine set-up in the field house. 24
