The boys P. E. class instructor was Mr. Phillips, the coach. During the early fall and spring days, classes were held on the playground every Monday and Wednesday. They played such games as volleyball, softball, and basketball. Although there were many other games and exercises, these were the three major ones for outdoor activity. During the winter months the boys played in the gymnasium. In class periods, the instructor tried to improve the playing of games, as well as sportsmanship. The boys chose teams and played a few basket- ball games. The coach divided the boys into four groups and chose a team from each group to play against the other group. This furnished activity in which all the class was interested.

First Aid First Aid is the treatment given to an injured person before the doctor arrives. The aim of First Aid is not to cure but to prevent the injury from becoming worse. First Aid is given as an addition to the health class and approxi- mately six weeks are spent in the study and practice of First Aid. First Aid is not a subject to be lightly passed over, but should be required of every person graduating from school. It is not known how many lives could be saved or how many permanent injuries could be prevented if every person had a working knowledge of First Aid. The class this year has studied the first steps in caring for fractures, common ailments and conditions due to accidents. We feel we have accomplished much by taking this course.
