Eleanor R. Whalen '22 Eitblttiw TIIERE is no surer way to perfect health than by regular exercise in the open air. For stirring up the blood, d9veloping the muscles, clearing the head and stimulating the appetite, or in other words, for building a strong healthy body, nothing is better than games and exercise. Indeed Competing with other people in various games helps one to be not only stronger, physically but morally, also, forit aids one to overcome undesirable characteristics such as conceit, uncontrollable temper, laziness and fear. Realizing these things, our time this year has been divided between professional work and play. Professional work such as learning how to execute and command school-room gymnastics may seem a simple task, but to learn those tables of exercises many neces- sary hours must be spent under very careful guidance. Our play days are the ones to which we look forward, for they are play even tho very strenuous. During the winter, on those days our programs usually consisted of school-room and play ground games, folk dances, school room exercises and work on the apparatus. Last, and most enjoyed,-were either relay races between teams or our favorite, stationary basketball. Do you remember the day, Seniors, that we defeated the Juniors? May and June are the months when most of our gym- nasium time is spent out-of-doors, taking one of the many forms of exercise, either, walking, playing tennis, lawn bowls, croquet and sometimes baseball and archery. This year, Miss Skeele, has chosen a new way by which to judge our efhciency along this line of work. Each student is required to take full charge of a training-school class in the gymnasium, having as her lesson some form of free play, corrective exercises, and a directed game. This has worked out very well and we are proud of our record. As a class we have greatly benefited by our gymnasium work under the faithful instruction of Miss Skeele, who has put her whole self intomaking us the best possible teachers of gymnastics.

THE AXIS called, 'The Repairer of the Breach', the 'Restorer of Paths to Dwell In.' In closing I want to say that many times when I have listened to people of several nations, thinkers, educators, students, scholars, they have talked toward some fraction of whole truth, some angle or fact they have worked out by experience and study, and time and again l have thought of that very thought or statement incorporated in some of the notes or lesson plans given at North Adams Normal School. You go out to your work with a far richer equip- ment than you realize. My message to you is to be uscd only if some peculiar situation arises which seems to lay without the pale of your preparation. Given a passion within your heart to meet the need fand often the greater the ditiiculty, the greater the needi you will somehow summon to your aid either original or God-given prompt- ings to do the thing that will be the solution ofthe issue, And then you will experience the glory and honor that comes to the heart of one who finds herself a working factor in bringing order out of chaos.
