During the first semester, the girls concentrated on competitive sports as soccer, volleyball, and relays. The second semester saw them practicing stunts, tumbling, basketball and badminton. The boys participated in muscle-building cal- isthenics and workouts on the parallel and high bars during the first part of the year. Later they tried their skill at tumbling, basketball and rope climbingg the latter seemed to be the favorite with the majority of the classes. The second semester saw stress placed on competition among the various classes.
