COACH EDDIE CHINSKE !Bolj± c fihfizHa Head man of the boys' athletics of M. H. S. is Mr. Edward Chinske. Out- side of coaching basketball and foot- ball he teaches boys' physical educa- tion classes. In the freshman year of these classes the boys are drilled in stunts on the parallel bars and in calis- thenics. These are in the line of body building and the boys benefit greatly from them. In the second year Mr. Chinske gives the boys a chance to play games such as basketball, vol- leyball, baseball, and soccer. Al- though the Spartans have not won any championships for Mr. Chinske while he has been here, under his supervi- sion they have come very close to it. The latest of blows to Mr. Chinske came in this basketball season when his team was nosed out of the conference championship by the Great Falls Bisons and then vanquished in the Northern Division tournament finals by the Havre Blue Ponies. However, the handsome statuette awarded for second place pro- vided some consolation to the aspiring Spartans. About the basketball team he remarked, They did better than I expected. He is also optimistic about next year's football team. Because girls talk too much his sympathies lie entirely with the stronger sex, the mem- bers of which are the subjects of some of his longer speeches.

 zA uLia SHADOWS Students learn not to jump at the un- earthly shrieks that come to them from the auditorium, for they are only the efforts of the beginners' band learning the intricacies of music and its appre- ciation. Instructor Emmet Anderson tears his hair and lives only for the day when his charges can graduate to the class of intermediate or symphonic bands. Andy , as he is known to his students, also watches over the orches- tra, A Capella choir, string quartet, woodwind quintet, and the twirling corp. In answer to a crying need, this year Andy organized the school dance orchestra to play at high school dances. Photography is Mr. Ander- son's hobby. MISS KATHRYNE EORG MR. EMMET ANDERSON Teacher of chorus and sophomore English is Miss Kathryne Borg. Although teaching two periods of each subject her time is taken up mainly by her chorus work. Besides her regular classes she sponsors most of the vocal groups of the school. These are known to students through the music concerts but primarily through the operetta which is put on each year. Miss Borg also has charge of the music for the Christmas cantata.

(fj'uili' cs ft zldtici Conducting physical education class- es for freshmen and sophomore girls, sponsoring the Girls Athletic Associa- tion, and supervising study halls fill Miss Erma Monroe's days to over- flowing. Small, active, a good partici- pant, and interested in all sports, she is an ideal leader of the athletically in- clined girls. Miss Monroe also directs the play one night a week for teachers who wish to go to the gym for exercise. She astonished all her friends this year by her perfect portrayal of the elderly sister of the bishop in the faculty play. In the physical education classes girls may register according to their desires in classes for tumbling, danc- ing, or games. Tumbling is especially valuable in training muscular coor- dination and control. This is largely achieved through balancing the body in various positions, and frequently the cooperation of two or more performers is required. Feats of agility are also a part of tumbling. Dances of various kinds teach grace, good posture, and balance. The games program also teaches coordination, increases lung capacity, and prepares students for a healthful use of leisure time. The phy- sical education program for girls in- cludes an occasional evening of public demonstration of the work of the va- rious classes, a limited theoretical training in health and hygiene, and a continuation of sports through the G. A. A. for those upper-class girls who desire it. MISS ERMA MONROE
