MILLIE MCMANUS, Supervisor of girls' P.E., re- ceived the BS degree from SMS and the MA from Illinois University. She sponsors Cheerleaders and Swimming Club. Greenwood, realizing that physical education is as important as mental education, has a well- planned program for all students. Four years of physical education are required. Certain physical fitness tests were to be passed -among them were push-ups, sit-ups, and chin- ning. Emphasis was placed on good sportsman- ship, health, and most of all-fun. Both boys and girls played volleyball, basket- ball, and badminton in the well-equipped gym. Outside, the boys played football and soccer, and the girls played soccer and practiced the art of archery. Senior high classes met twice a week after regular school hours, and junior high boys and girls alternated days meeting at eleven in the morning. This class really gives you a different outlook on life. In P.E. anything goes while waiting for the work to start, and these three girls fwe lbink there are three of themj rove that P being slothful can be fun. PHYSICAL EDUCAHON Ballet?
