WE FLOAT THROUGH THE AIR DANGER-GIRLS AT WORK Has anyone seen my towel? Where did I put my sock? Oh, there goes my shoe lace! Just like me to break one now when I'm in a hurry. Did you get your gym suit washed and ironed this month? Oh, Oh, there goes the whistle. Time for roll call. Wonder what we'll do today? That can be answered by referring to the calendar. If it's spring, or fall, ten- nis, indoor baseball, hockey, volley ball, deck tennis, or soccer are in demand dur- ing school hours in the gym and after school hours in the spacious new stadium. If it's winter the gymnasium holds the spotlight solely, for this is the season for indoor sports, dancing, tumbling, or ap- paratus. Of all the indoor sports, basket- ball seems to rate ace high. The girls come back two nights a week for prac- tice. The dances studied in the classes are folk dances. The tumbling includes the hand, head, and shoulder stands, for- ward and backward roll, the cartwheel, and the fish flop. Apparatus work con- sists of use of the rings, ropes, buck, and horse. , .,,,,... ,.., ,. -w...- WARMING UP Both physical and mental health are stressed in the physical education classes. The work carried out to stimulate physi- cal health includes good posture, body mechanics, coordination and control of the body, and cleanliness which is em- phasized by showers after class. Good judgment and quick thinking, which sports require, are attributes of mental health. OVER THE TOP f - J 7, -f-- ., - ' .Lynn '..f...i N -. . .-p ........,.l :.N..g M' nmaum.aLu2::.,.w..1,. L..
