outfit and as a final touch a patch pocket and buttoned belt are added. But somehow this is not my idea of style. Thus my uniform has been subjected to vicious mutilation beginning with the removal of the fashionable buttoned belt and concluding with the dismembering of the wings. Add to this the fact that it has not been properly washed since last Christmas holidays and you can visualize my idea of style. (The latter point is publicly known and it is a frequent jest that my uniform stands up by itself in my locker and that I have to walk it through the halls.) The situation as it stands presently, is not very hopeful. The new routine is a grand feat even for a super athlete. Now I have an unattainable goal. Now I must match this collosal physical achievement handicapped by my own physical incompetence. I am sure we are all born with different capacities for these bodily exercises. Each one develops according to the best of her abilities and no two people are alike in this respect. I have always felt that physical education cannot be classed as another subject we must contend with for it requires a special talent. One who has no talent in the field of art is never compelled to be an artist. Why is it then that one who has no talent in the field of physical training is compelled to be an athlete? Compelled is not too strong a word; physical education is as compulsory as mathematics. If we are incapable of complying with the demands in this field our scholastic average as a whole is affected. A detachment from the force has been assigned to set up nets for the next impending disaster. I glance at the pensive faces surrounding me. Of course, the super athletes still maintain their cool, casual air, unaffected by the tense atmosphere that precedes a test. I have always had a certain sympathy for the Andersons and Browns who simply because of their unfortunate alphabetical positions are the first to undergo these trials. Then it is my turn. Surrounded by the critical eyes of thirty classmates, a singular soul stands alone in her fear and blindly makes her way to the net. The cold stern eyes of the examiner burn through me. My hands are clammy and the ball squirms from my grasp. I feel myself blush and with an embarrassed half-smile, recover the ball. I shoot it straight up ... perfect form ... It lands three feet in front of me. The examiner reminds me that the object of the game is to get the ball over the net and I hear snickers from the super athletes. I have never excelled in volleyball. The rule stating that we must regard these tests with an awesome terror seems ridiculous to me. Why is it necessary to be humiliated in the presence of my friends and foes? For a person of my incapabilities I feel that this method of testing is extremely heartless. Certainly, this public abasement only strengthens my unappreciative attitude towards physical education. Once again the militant blast brings the troop to attention. The instructress informs us that today she has kindly granted us two and one half minutes to get dressed. We file out silently from the gymnasium like chided children but each one is content with the fact that she has performed to the best of her agility. 47
