Boys' Physical Education The best activity to come out of boys' physical education this year was the interclass basketball tournament, held in February, in Which the seniors proved victorious. Other physical education periods were utilized in training the boys for basketball, track and baseball. Girls' Physical Education Games, athletics, stunts and dances are an essential part of the selected activities that make up the material used in Girls' Physical Edu- cation. Physical education provides opportunity for the development of sound attitudes, habits and knowledge of wholesome living. A girl may develop an ability to relax in recreational activities and to cooperate with others. During the year there were three class tournaments held in minor sports: Badminton, ping-pong and volleyball. The volleyball tournament was won by the mighty sophomores. Our champion ping-pong player was Pat Trunk, a freshman. The badminton championship was claimed by Jean Lemay, a sophomore.
