Courses in recreational sports are an asset to -future playground direc- tors. Rules and the technique of playing are mastered. Then each student takes a turn at leadership of the respective sport, directing others in the intricacies of the ploy. The program breeds expertness and skill in badminton, ping-pong, shuffle board, and deck tennis tus- sles. A study of Games and Play brings a knowledge of muscle- building aids. Gracefulness, coordinat- ed movement and r hythm are achieved in folk danc- ing classes. The study and practice falls, especially, on our own notional dances- square dance, circle two- step, Virginia Reel. Like all departments. Physical Education has its theory courses. Particular- ly interesting is the one which points out how char- acter is developed through Physical Education. Future teachers take up the organization and ad- ministration of this line of work. They delve into the techniques of training ele- mentary and Junior High school pupils. But it is not pure theory. It goes into practice when they direct all sport activities. If it is practice you ' re needing. Mis- sion Park is a great place to tee off, Catherine Fairhurst demonstrates. ' Twos also quite the spot for the crowd of college tennis players im- proving their technique this spring. As for the water lovers, they took to swimming — some joining the Functional Course to prepare them- selves for overseas dutv in the serv- ice.

Round the clock the training goes and where it stops . . . well, every student knows the emphasis, all the way through, is on physical fitness with an eye to aiding the war pro- gram. High on the popularity ' list is basketball; all classes participate; each organ- izes its own team. A hard- fought contest is the yearly intramural tournament when players go all-out for the college champion- ship trophy. Preliminary basketball training embraces the same exercises aviation cadets undergo; muscles in shoulders and feet are de- veloped. Archery commandeers the sharp shooters, and they are sharp as high scores in college and inter- national shoots evince. Skating leads in cold weather when groups skim the rinks on the academy and St. Aloysius grounds. Swimming, tennis, and golf get their fans when fair weather reigns. Shooting form when cultivated to rhythm brings this sort of formation shown by Tox members aiming at their Skater ' s Waltz ; music in waltz time gave the signals at this shoot.

Cotton Ball, the Juniors hove traversed the ups and downs of variety with their 1943 class activities. During class meetings, hundreds of buttons of all shapes, sizes, and colors w6re classi- fied and placed in respective containers to aid the overworked Red Cross sewing center. A further assistance to the Red Cross was the Juniors ' sewing and knitting project. Small pieces of cotton prints were sewed into patch-work blocks for quilts, while vari-colored squares were knitted for an afghan. Ranking high as a social success was the annual Cotton Boll, traditionally presented by the Junior Class. The date selected for the ball is one immediately following the season of Lent. Beautifully decorated with flowers and spring colors, the college gym, transformed into a bower, becomes a fitting background for the bright cotton formals. At Christmas, the Juniors played Santa Clous to the orphan lads at the newly opened Don Boscoe Home. A Christmas basket was heaped with gomes; clever stockings made by the class were heaped with candies and nuts. Helen Costello, class president, was assisted by Mary Louise Blanc, vice-president, Veryl Keefer, and Eleanor Pontier in carrying out these numerous activities. Outstanding Junior leaders in school ofFoirs were: Eileen Pierce, prefect of the colleqe Parish Sodality Seminar, and president of the Monogram Club; Lillian Lael, secretary of the Seminar; Helen Costello, COLLEGIAN editor; and Eileen Coale, president of Rho Tau Sigma.
