Graduation It's a steep grade to Graduation, a steep grade to go. It’s a Steep grade to Graduation, and to college we all know. Good will and perscverence. has helped us all along. And now it’s commencement and the Seniors' farewell song. When we were Freshmen the hill seemed to be inclined, But then we'd think of Graduation and the college life we d find. It was worth all the struggle, for we ve had lots of fun. In the fight for H. S. honor, and the good reports we won. It’s a steep grade to Graduation, a steep grade to go, It's a steep grade to Graduation and the many things we know. So good-bye little Sophomores, good-bye Juniors too, It’s a steep grade to Graduation but we’ll pray for you. Laura Nollman. Page Twenty six

BOYS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION T he Physical Education schedule for this year contained a variety of ac- tivities. I he classes were given the athletic efficiency tests which included the major activities of life such as: climbing, throwing, jumping and running. Basketball has proved to be one of the most interesting sports this year. Classes were organized into teams and after playing a regular schedule of games, the winning team from each class participated in the Physical Educa- tion Tournament. The boys on the winning teams were awarded P. E. emblems. Other sports which created quite a bit of enthusiasm among the boys were volley ball, indoor baseball, touch football, soccer, and playground base- ball. A few calisthenics have been given and occasionally a day would be given to relays and other games. Throughout the entire year good sportsmanship has been required and team work stressed. The boys have selected their various captains and done practically all of their own officiating. DISTRICT COMMERCIAL CONTEST On Saturday.
