13 PHYSICAL EDUCATION When we first come into the gym we change into our runners and then we sit in our four P.T. teams. After this we stand up and do some exercises such as push-ups and running on the spot. We take tumbling which is a forward roll and back to a cross-legged position. Then there is the headstand where one boy stands on his head and another boy stands by to help him if necessary. There is the wooden horse on which we have to jump. We jump on, stop, and then do a forward roll. Once in awhile We play volleyball and we also play basketball; sometimes we practice taking shots and sometimes we play a game. Yes, Physical Education is something we need in our life. Stanley Kowalski 8-23 When girls first go for Physical Training, they think that it’s a period in which to play, but don’t worry, Mrs. Graham has it all figured out I We wear a special uniform. We wear tunics which are four inches above the knees. If we wore ordinary clothes which were tighter, it would be very difficult for us to do the exercises and to jump around as we play volleyball. We wear white runners which are light on our feet. If we wore ordinary shoes we should probably sprain our ankles. Most of the winning teams of the school have won crests, which have on them the initials H.J.M. We have exercises and square dancing. We play volleyball and in the summer we play baseball outdoors. This is a sport which all girls like. We are kept busy in the Auditorium where our gym takes place. So if you come to school on a Monday morning feeling low , go to see Mrs. Graham in the Auditorium. s he will fix you up . She’ll give you so much exercise that you ' ll be sorry that you ever took my advice!
