GIRLS' ATHLETICS In the school curricula of Indiana. the term Physical Education is practically new. It is recognized by prominent educators as a sub- ject of vital importance to every boy and girl. Although health edu- cation is only one phase of Physical Education. it is of great imf portance. By a planned program of play, recreation and exercise it is hoped to improve the health not only of the boys and girls of Mar- ion, but of the nation. For the past few months the girls of Martin Boots Junior High School have been enjoying a program of play in their gynasium classes. Early in the fall the game called Soccer was included in this program. Although handicapped by the small playing field, the girls played several interesting games and a few good players devel- oped. Due to weather conditions the game with the McCulloch team was not played. During the Winter months Kick-Pin-Ball has been the girls favorite sport. Each Home Room has an organized team which plays in a noon league on Mondays and Fridays. ln the month of November. motor ability stunt tests were given in each gym class to determine the motor ability or muscular co-ordi- nation of each student. The tests are to be given again in the spring to estimate the progress made. .

The Sketch 23 Art Department ANY OF THE valuable facts in the history of our race have been gathered from art remains, in the ruins of old buildings, carved ornaments, decorations on pottery and on woven fabrics. In all ages artists have put the customs of the people around them, the costumes, games, great deeds in war, etc., into their own carvings and paint- ings. The feelings and ,emotions of people took a place among the subjects represented so that artists influenced their fellowmen. 1 Good taste, in the ciield of art, is the application of the principles of design toiithe problems in life where appearance as well as utility is a consideration. Having this thought in mind, a new department has been added to the Art clause, that of Craft or Applied Design. These classes-have been organized in the ninth..year-working for two periods each day in a room of the Horace Mann building under the direction Qftfgiiss White. A M T - lVlissiSicott, teaches the 7B and 8B classes in color and composi- tion. Centering the subject matter around figure sketching. Students enjoy the opportunity for self-expression and so that desires to create may be developed, provision is made for those of spec, ial ability. Beautiful things areinoAt':only,,drawn on paper in line and color, but can be lived in daily and found inicommon things. Art is wherever the feet of men tread. whatever his ear hear. and where- ever his soul lives. Physical Education ATHLETICS HAVE ALWAYS had a very prominent place among Martin Boots activities. Our athletic program has many phases. It is linked with Physical Education. A part of each week in both lzoys and girls Gym classes is given over to organized team games. Both boys and girls have Home Room teams which compete during the noon period. The boys have intramural sports in the guise of leagues . Teams play in the morning and in the evening after school. In the fall the Leagues play baseball, soccer, volley ball, and push ball Through the winter and eary spring Decathlon and Pen- tathlon are featured. The slogan of the school when it comes to paly is 'iAthletics for everybody-and we should like to say evervbodv for Ath'etic'.
