All high school students must earn one credit in physical education or in some athletic activity. Gym one day a week gives one-tenth of a credit, each sport counts three-tenths. From Miss Ulmer girls learned the fundamentals of volley- ball, shuffleboard, badminton, and table tennis, during the spring, they went to the park for baseball games and outdoor tennis matches. ln Mr. Jones's classes boys preferred basketball, volleyball, and kickball, The pool was open to both groups. Pupils wishing to learn to swim were taught correct methods of breathing, floating, and stroking. After-school swimming was available for pupils who wanted to learn more than regular class time permitted. Underlying all gym classes is emphasis on physical fitness and good health practices. Basketball, usually considered a boys' game, also wins the unqualified approval of girls' physical education classes, Gym classes round outa balanced educational program Q,-, your mark, get 597, go!
