The Physical Education Department THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION 1 department offers a variety of sports, work in the fundamentals of games, and physical development for the girls of Central High school. In the gymnasium classes the girls are divided into squads with a floor captain and squad leaders who aid in supervising the class work. Marching, calisthenics, and dances are taught for the development of body poise, good posture, and graceful rhythmic movements. Intramural games are held in hockey, basketball, tennis, baseball, bowling, and volleyball. For excel- lence in these sports as well as hik- ing, swimming, fencing, archery, golf, and horseback-riding, points are awarded toward the school let- ter. Earning a letter not only gives a means of recreation but also a sense of responsibility and a basis of competition for all participants. As a result of interest shown in various sports. extra-curricular clubs have been formed. The boys’ Physical Education de- partment offers a program of many activities to accomplish its three- fold purpose: physical development of boys, creation of an interest in and understanding of the major sports outside of school life, and the furtherance of co-operation and good discipline among boys. The year’s program includes touch football, marching, calis- thenics. basketball, wrestling, box- ing, baseball, track and swimming. Both the boys’ and the girls’ de- partments not only produce strong- er and more physically fit youths, but develop the important qualities of leadership, endurance, courage, co-operation and good sportsman- ship.
