GYM I IMPOR Every student is required to have one credit in physical education to graduate. The in- structors in the physical education department emphasize fair play. They do this by giving each student the responsibility 'of doing his part during each class period. There is a sport where each boy may excel. These sports are: football, cross-country, base- ball, basketball, and track. The intramural program is chosen in regard to human growth, development, and behavior. ln the girls' physical education program, the instructors correlate physical exercise, rules, and participation in individual and group sports.
