Physical Education Program... Girls in the physical education classes learn many different sports. They don't con- fine it to sports, however. Dancing, tumbling, and first aid are also taught the students. Here they are up in the air doing headstands. 12 Here Miss Mary Alice Sumrow, new P.E. instructor, is shown giving the girls a few pointers on tumbling.
