And lastly, our physical education department not only trains our athletic teams but also furnishes an outlet for intra-mural athletics. It teaches us the value of play and rec- reation i11 our everyday school program and gives us an opportunity to develop our phy- sical being. So year after year our faculty sends out bigger and better citizens. However, to most young children education means very little except the learning of their A B C's.
