During the fall special emphasis was put on calisthenics, running, and touch football. The winter activities consisted of swimming, calisthenics, and basketball. Following a boxing tournament in the soring, outside activities were resumed with the main attraction being softball. The Girls’ P.E. classes started with baseball and deck tennis. During the winter months basketball, volleyball, and swimming w’ere the main activities. When spring arrived, baseball was resumed and swimming continued. Twenty-six
