Athletics Class Added Girls' athletics was added to the curriculum this year. Athlet- ics helped do away with after- school workouts and gave more girls a chance to be active in sports. The girls started the year play- ing volleyball. Then they took up basketball when the season started. Track was the most strenuous sport although everyone v l enjoyed it. It involved a lot of running, jumping, exercising and weightlifting. Boys in athletics play football, basketball, track and baseball. Boys not participating in the sport in season take part in an off-sea- son program. This involves lift- ing weights and running to keep in shape . CV AJ During sixth period athletics.
