Report of the President With the school year of 1928-1929, Lyons Township High School is beginning another era in its steady develop- ment. The addition to its material equipment makes possible greater progress than in the past. With a strong and capable faculty, and the cooperation of an earnest student body, the value of the school to our district will continue to enhance. The Board and the Faculty are united in believing that a good physique is an important part of a well rounded educa- tion. The boys' new gymnasium which was used during part of the last school year has contributed greatly to the pro- gramme of physical education. An important adjunct is a four lane 75 yard indoor straight away track specially floored for its purpose. There is also provided a room specially equipped for corrective gymnastic work. The older gymnasium, with its lockers and showers, has been renovated and will be devoted exclusively to the physical training of the girls. Miss Catherine Thompson who comes to our school from Clayton, Missouri, after a successful regime and a voluntary and regretful departure, will be in charge of the physical education of girls. Ideas of those expert in physical education con-cerning the methods of attaining desired physical fitness have been grad- ually changing and progressing so that, instead of a pro- gramme of calisthenics and expert gymnastic exercises not particularly attractive to the average student, result is sought and, in an increasing degree, attained by a combination of gymnasium work and participation in -the so-called athletic ac- tivities requiring more or less field area. In accord with the latter idea, the Board has acquired for the district 264 feet of frontage on Cossitt Avenue immedi- ately west of the present athletic field. This addition for Em- mond Field will give it nearly 800 feet of frontage on Cossitt Avenue extending north to the property of the Chicago, Bur- lington and Qunicy Railroad.
