As the year progressed, teams were organized for after school as well as class period games in the various sports. For the first month or so, the girls could be seen racing energetically to the athletic field with hockey sticks dangling from their hands, returning with bruised shins or ankles after an exhilarating game. During the winter their indoor sports included ring tennis, badmin- ton, volleyball, and basketball. In the Spring they rounded out their program by returning to the athletic field for softball or to the tennis courts. BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The boys' physical education classes got into full swing at the beginning of the year with tag football. As the winter wore on they took part in indoor sports such as bas- ketball and weight lifting. Spring rolled around and the classes went outdoors again. Almost any period you could hear loud cracks and then piercing shrieks as the fel- lows cheered one of their classmates who was racing for hrst base or maybe one who had knocked a home run in a softball game. Tennis was another spring sport that some enjoyed. Throughout the year interest was heightened by the intramural games which were held in the various sports. -l23l'
