Thrilling and dramatic-as you promised, admitted Ham. l want to show you some highlights in the non-competitive side of Regionals health and recreational program. Oh, I get it. You mean that in Physical Education classes, the students are taught the first principles of sports and that they may go out for some intra-mural tournament-let's say wrestling or track. Yes, yes! You've got it, squeaked Cooky, seeing that Ham had sweetened up and was willing to comprehend. Only there's more to it than that. The boys are not only helping themselves from the health standpoint, but are also contributing to the glory of R. H. S. even in intra-murals. There is still another view of the matter, however. Really? asked Ham, who certainly showed interest very plainly. Certainly! Athletic activity is good from the physical standpoint, of course. The pleasure the boys get is important. Furthermore they learn cooperation, sports- manship, and fair play. Are there clubs connected with this phase of Regional life as well? To be sure. There are a great many of them so that everyones interests may be satisfied. The Cynmastic Club Otters a lot, even acrobatic training. The boys learn how to swing on ropes and bars just as we do with our tails wrapped around the rung of a chair. Then there is the Wrestling Club wherein many freshman boys learn how to tie their fellow-mates in knots. The more specific sport clubs are the Bicycle, Hiking. Archery, and Camping Clubs, each of which can be easily identified by the name. I get the point. What about Checker and Chess Clubs, are they included in this category? That's so, answered the surprised Cooky, for he didn't expect his self-centered friend to catch on so quickly. 'LAll this talk about gymnastics makes me feel like trying some myself, said Ham, feeling xg ' sprightly and youthful. .fD+ Freshman XVrestIing Club 78
