DOROTHY HACHTEN Brockport Slate Teachers College Because of the increasing importance of the physical fitness of the people of our land, the physical education program is claiming a more definite part of our school curriculum. Students look forward each day to their forty-five minute gym period. This gives the student an opportunity to release his excess energy. Another essential of life is taught through sports, this being the necessity of achieving a healthy personality that only good sportsmanship can give.
