Every-one asks himself, I wonder how much l've gained, so in order to find out, the members of this club are weighed every two or three weeks to find just exactly how much they have g'ained. ul When they come up, their smile is much more broader 'and hap- pier than when they went in because they know that they are on what you might call the Road to Health and Happiness. -Margaret Weisz. The Corrective Class One of the most splendid and noteworthy institutions in our school is the Corrective Department. To boys and girls who suffer from physical defects corrective work comes as a wonderful opportunity to make themselves as near physically perfect as possible, and for this reason the gymnasium period is looked forward to as one of the most interesting and instructive of the whole day. The aim of Corrective Physical Education is to rebuild lost muscle control and improve posture. Each student is given a set of ex- ercises especially designed for him, and every student will be great- ly benefited by the course of exercises assigned to him, provided he practices them regularly. It is very interesting for the pupil to watch this improvement from day to day. for in many cases the change is quite noticeable, and the great benefit received from corrective work assists him in his future as well as present life. Many people may wo-nder how the class progresses from day to day with enthusiastic and unflagging interest in the long and tedious process of reconstructing a defective body. The secret of this is that there is a wonderful goal of attainment held out to each student. This goal is not only the great one of physical perfection, which all should strive to reach, but also the power to pass the required tests and return to general work with the knowledge that he is as fit as his comrades.-Winnifred Theed.

Y 3 711 tvvvvv,1fx4?ir1vvvev 1v volley ball games. From each class had been chosen after extensive tryouts, the most capable of our players. Each class had two teams, composed of twelve players, making twenty-four in all. The teams were numbered one and two, and every team one played all the other one teams, while the two teams played each other.. Both teams in each grade played exceptionally well, so that on the final day of the games, several teams were in the lead. The climax came Tuesday. The partisans for every grade were in evidence, every one confident that her team would win, and indeed if the cheers of the rooters alone could have won the game, every team would have emerged victorious, for the girls' lung power was tre- mendous. At last, after an exciting half hour, the bell rang, a-nd we discovered that the AWS had beaten the B7's by one point, and thereby won the tournament. r We were very glad to have the graduating class win, yet we secret- ly envied the you-ngest class who were such good players and such good losers. TEAM 1-Helen Thobaben fCapt.J, Roberta Lee, Blanch George, Vivian Barber, Mildred Blum, Wilma Bullard, Winona Wright, Wil- hemina Hansen, Inez Jordan, Juanita Selby, Mary Dougherty, a-nd Clotilda Tenorio. TEAM 2-Edith Knapp tCapt.J, Grace Collier, Ella Priebe, Marie Cordil, Lila Adcock, Gertrude Jelis, Ellen Hicks, Gertrude Murray, Ruth Holden, Cora Miller, Hannah Deradoorian, Marcella Le-narth. Interfclass Basket Bali Games One of the many of our school activities that inspires a wholesome rivalry between the grades is the series of girls' inter-class basket ball games that decides the basket ball championship every term. The games are contested between the three upper grades and are under the auspices of our gymnasium teachers. Tryouts for places on the teams are held during the physical training periods. The A9's covered themselves with glory last term 'by winning the school championship. They deserve special mention, as the class was an unusually small one. The B9's, by their good work, came very near winning the coveted championship, while the A8's, who had only a few weeks practice, played exceptionally well. The players in general showed good team work, while the losers showed their tine spirit by congratulating the champs, -Lillian Rosen and Ruth Stewart, A9's.
