-12.9 The Physical Education de- partment plays an important part in the life of a Central student, who learns the fun- damentals of games and gets an opportunity to de- velop leadership and good sportsmanship. Beside the regular gym- nasium classes, such sports as football, basketball, hock- ey, individual sports, archery, and swimming are offered in this department. This well rounded program of activi- ties, which in war time was changed to five days a week for senior boys, proved help- ful to our men and women in the armed forces, who en- tered the service in good physical condition. Top-Boys practice bas- ketball in gym. Center-Miss lrene John- son, William Kottke, and John Swain cooperate in putting up the volley ball net. Bottom-To keep up that trim figure, the girls of the gym class must do their knee bends at the beginning of -the period. 24
