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.

YOUR TALENTS You must learn to work with the talents God has given you. It will do you no good whatsoever to envy another who happens to be more tal- ented than yourself. Get busy and develop your own talents, though they may seem unimportant and insignificant to you now. lt is through the intelligent use of your own talents and opportunities that your life will be broadened. Your talents are the blessing bestowed upon you at birth that you might do some useful work in the world. You can make your opportunities as you develop your talents. It is a great advantage to realize early in life just wherein your talents lie. Everyone is blessed with some useful talent which should not be neglected or allowed to lie dor- mant. Bring your talents to the light and make the most of them. As you develop them, you open the gate to greater opportunities. When you have learned to work with your own talents, much more happiness will come in- to your life. Ql KkEP5 Ei, agi 1 9 3 0
