Seasonal games were played in the Boys, Gym classes. These included football in the fall, bas- ketball during the winter, and baseball in the spring. In addition, there were volleyball, bowl- ing and boxing. Activities to promote the girls' physical fitness were volleyball, stunts, dancing. basketball, speedball, and soccer. These exercises were carried out by explanation, demonstration, and practice in squads. Knowledge and skill tests were given to determine each student's abilities in the various activities.
