Girls' Physical Education 'QCULTIVATION OF THE MIND by education and of the body by sports, was one of the high ideals of the Greeks and it was passed on to us. This ideal is carried out by the Girls Physical Edu- cation Department in training the girls in good health habits, rec- reation, and coordination. Girls may earn school letters by putting extra time into physical education. Working on Study Day and after school a girl may easily earn a letter. Points are given for participation in intra- murals, ofhciating, and service. The variety of sports and activities offered by the department gives each girl a chance to ind out which activity she is most interested in. Minor courses in the rules of football and boys' basketball help the girls to become better acquainted with spectator sports. GIRLS' P.E. classes enjoy playing soccer in I'I1e Florida sun.
