Physical fitness tests are given periodically in order to help the students measure their progress in all phases of apparatus, individual strength, and endurance exercises. Boys yelling, girls screaming, whistles blowing, and joints creaking are common sounds in the athletic department. Although mandatory only for eighth, ninth, and tenth- graders, everyone participates in after-school intramural contests. These serve to relax and to provide enjoyment for the contestants as well as to encourage a keen competitive spirit throughout the school. Whether it be on the track, tennis court, or in the gym, the accent lies strongly on physical activity and health to build stronger-bodied American boys and girls capable of long, hard endurance. Mrs. Leskovar instructs Patsy Glaze in the skills of tennis.
