I do not worship it, nor deem it greater than myself. I do not confuse it with myself, Which towers over it like iridescent fire. Pour down upon me, O Spirit of Eternal Energy, And make my body luminous and fit for God. E 1 9 3 0 E

In physical education we aim to develop both the mind and the body togetherg therefore we give the students exercises that are complicated enough to require the individual to have to think in order to execute them. Other specific aims of our physical education program are: 1. To teach the students to be honest, truthful, sincere and serious. and to be considerate of others. 2. To teach them to guard their health, both morally and physically. 3. To teach them to have clean habits of living. A 4. To teach them to be loyal, for a reputation of loyalty induces em- ployers to give the young men and young women positions of responsi- bility and trust. Another general aim is to teach pupils how to play, in order that they may be able to utilize their leisure time by indulging in good wholesome recreation which is necessary for the health and happiness of everyone. -Mr. Phares.
