Phys Ed ' Promotes Good Health, Poise Although physical education is required for only one year, many students take it for four years. Classes for both girls and boys are in session every period throughout the day. Besides the class activities — calisthenics, apparatus, tumbling, and dancing — the girls also engage in intramural sports sponsored by Miss Theo Parr and Miss Elena Raglin. Intra- mural activities include basketball, volley ball, softball, archery, tennis, and badminton. In the spring, boys have an opportunity to participate .in the Decathlon Contest. Points are accumulated by mastering skills on the apparatus, in exercises, and in sports. Intra- mural sports, such as basketball and bowling, are sponsored by Mr. Gene Harvey. Demonstrating balancing skill, Linda Abrams, fourth year gym student, takes a walk on her hands. Helping to build strong bodies, Miss Theo Parr includes calisthenics in her class ' activities. 18

Our Battle Group Stars at Review Manual ' s ROTC Battle Croup was cited last spring at Federal Inspection with an honor rating, when the cadets passed in review before a visiting general. Manual was one of two city schools to be named an Honor School. Every Thursday and Friday nearly 300 boys dress in full uniform. On Friday they are inspected by one of six honorary cadets, girls chosen by the ROTC. In addition to marching in the Veterans Day and Armed Forces Day Parades, the cadets serve the school as mes- sengers, ushers, doormen, and guards at ball games, plays, and P-TA functions. Sharp- shooting cadets belong to the Rifle Team. Members of the ROTC History Club hear lectures about military great and major battles. Maj. Cen. Jonathan Seaman, 6th Corps Commander, con- gratulates Cadet 2nd Lt. Roy Lashley on winning first place in the City Knock Out Drill. Honorary Cadets Marvia Johnson and Nancy Karstedt smile approval.
