VICTORY CORPS Since the government has started drafting men for mili- tary service, it has been found that a large number of them are phvsically unfit. One method of improving this situa- tion is to introduce physical education into high schools all over the country. .Here at Gilman we weren't able to start until the middle of January. The boys and girls take calisthenios for forty-five minutes twice a week, the boys Mondavs and Wednesdays and the girls Tuesdays and Fridays. The boys are under the direction of Mr. Black and the girls under the direction of Miss Greenleaf. At each session the classes line up for roll call which is followed by a few minutes of military drill. The next half hour is devoted to various kinds of exercise. If there is any time left over, it is used for a game or contest. Hoyt Clark '44 ii hd

Progress has been slower as we lost so many of our players by graduation last year and also by the draftg nevertheless, we have kept on practicing each Thursday afternoon in the commercial room. The band gave a short concert during intermission at both the senior. and sophomore plays and the junior and freshman plays. We are now practicing marching in preparation for Me- morial Day. Music is an important part 'in any life, so even though the war claims all but a very few, we will still play on.
