W. L. Overman, physical education director for the boys, and Mrs. Ruth P. Daly, director of the girls, directed the festival. A great deal of praise is due them and their assistants for this unusual event. The first event was the boys' posture contest. Mr. Overman's B-Nine boys of the fourth period won first place. This class was trained by Mr. Schmidt, one of the student teachers. Mr. Overman's fifth period seventh-grade class and his second period eighth-grade class also tied for first place, but they were unlucky in the toss-up.

C., Hollywood High School, lllartin Trieb, assistant director of physical education in Los Angeles schoolsg and Francis Dougherty, assistant supervisor of corrective physical education in Los Angeles.
