At the end of the year, classes once again were given fitness exams and the results of the two tests were compared to determine the extent of improvement, Through class par- ticipation in volleyball, badminton, dodge- ball, and basketball, students learned co- operation and sportmanship, Most activi- ties were held in the gymnasium, but when spring rolled around, classes went to River- side Park for softball, tennis, and relays. Swimming classes, divided into three groups according to proficiency, were taught wa- ter safety rules. Those in the advanced classes were required to develop the eight elementary strokes: crawl, side, overarm side, breast, inverted breast, butterfly, back, and elementary back. Time was also spent perfecting the techniques of diving, floating, aquatic ballet, and lifesaving.
