BOYS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION DIRECTORS, WENDELL P. BURR, HENRY BATT BOYS’ GYM The boys’ gym classes at Classical are conducted by Mr. Burr and Mr. Batt. Throughout the winter months, seasonal sports such as basketball, hand- ball, and volleyball are explained, and practice is gained in the fundamentals of those sports. Exer- cises also play a big part in keeping the boys in condition, and the obstacle course at the Armory which is used in the warmer months serves its part too. Although Classical is not the largest school in the city, it has a proportionately large representa- tion of boys out for the various athletic teams, and those teams are often high in comparison to other high school teams—a fact which speaks well of the boys themselves, of the benefit of the gym classes, and of the instruction which is given.
