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. .
