A new sport, archery, was started for the girls in the fall. It proved to be quite fascinat- ing. Tom Kilburg Larry Butler I6 Teachers Stress 6 w v In physical education students usually start the year out by swinging a softball bat in that well- known game of softball, and usually end up the year by swinging a golf club in that great game of golf. In between these students learn and play such sports as flag football, speedball, volleyball, gymnastics, wrestling, tennis, and recreational games such as ping-pong and shuffleboard. There is even time to take part in physical fit- ness, which are sometimes dreaded, but is well known that they are good for the body. Hard work is a known factor in P.E. but there is fun, too, be- cause it is a nice break from the everyday routine of classes and those boring lectures.
