K. JORDAN G. THOMPSON PHYSICAL EIIUCATION There's much to be gained from classes in gym That text books alone can't endow, There's much to be learned about gaining good health, But there's no need in just knowning how. As required by the state, each student Must have two years of Physical Ed. Conscientious building of bodily health Contributes to being well bred. The girls are instructed twice weekly, With Miss jordan at the lead. To be fair and adept in sports, as in life, Is vital for one to succeed. There's badminton, ping pong, and soccer ln which there is chance to excel, While tumbling, and tennis, and relays - Make good exercises as well. The boys take a liking to various sports And change as the seasons roll by, Opportunity is given the freshman To show where his talent might lie. Be it relays, basketball, hurdles or such, Coach Thompson observes him with pride. lle then undertakes with marked interest To quicken the young prospect's stride. M. KLEIN e i R. Knut: IIEALTII lu order to be rich in mental wealth, There is need for strong bodies and physical health. Only when one is well and rid of disease Can he play hard, or study with ease. To provide this, the aid of the school nurse is given. Home nursing is offered to girls who have striven To the Junior or Senior rank in their class, Five tenths of a credit rewards all who pass. Diets, injuries, how to watch oier the ill, The caring of babies, diseases to kill Thus the Home Nursing students are given a chance To cope with emergencies far in advance. They are trained to curb sicknesses in their own homes, Combat the diseases that frequently roam, To bathe and dress cuts in the most adept ways, Such helpfulness many expenses defrays. A school nurse, provided with office and such, Tends to daily emergencies with indeed a deft touch. If she deems that the injury needs hospital care, She is ready and willing to carry you there. If an absence for illness is unusually long, A visit is paid to determine the wrong. If the patient fakes sickness as some will do, She assumes the stern duty of truant-officer too. 21

A baton is rather a magic thing That makes bands play and glee clu It tempers tone and volume well - bs sing, It makes the proper notes to swell - All eyes on it are centered. In all the bands Cfor we have threej, The baton keeps in harmony, The tuba, bass, and clarinet, The trumpet, piccolo, and cornet - All eyes on it are centered. The Glee Clubs marvel at its work For hidden beauty seems to lurk In every song they ever sing -- And watch the baton,s every swing All eyes on it are centered. MUSIC A Cappella singers find One can concentrate one's mind On expression in one's singing, The baton keeps rhythm swinging. All eyes on it are centered. Soft the clarinets must play And the violinists sway - The drummer o'er the cymbals bends As orchestra attention lends - All eyes on it are centered. Ilarmony is music's soul - Makes the crashing chords to roll Helps to build foundation scales - Music that the soul regales, Life around it is centered. E. FITZGERALD V. LANGLITZ G. MAASKE 22 M .
