Milk testing for fat content is only one of the projects of thc agriculture classes. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Survival of the Httest was one of nature's early laws. Today the physical education classes try to make students physically fit at the same time they are promoting cooperation and good sports- manship. Among the sports and exercises in the Girls, Gym are volleyball, speedball, basketball, badminton, and softball. The main sports for boys are football during the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball, tennis, and track in the spring. Their minor sports include boxing, wrestling, badminton, basketball intramurals, and volleyball. Miss Boardman demonstrates first aid head bandaging to the members of her health class. AGRICULTURE Agriculture is the backbone of a nation. Fruit exhibits. tree planting and care. speaking con- tests. and judging take up much of the students' time. although they do research also in solving problems and discussing the explanations. Stu- dents in agriculture will be prepared to help feed the nation. Several Medina High agriculturists won prizes this year at the Rochester Horticultural Exposi- tion last january. A 1 4 Y! -. ... 'R tux '-, Girls in one of Miss Magner's physical education groups practice badminton services. HEALTH Many matters are taken care of by time, but the school health program is set up to help students take care of themselves. Each pupil has a phy- sical examination by the school doctor, an eye- sight and an audiometer test. and a dental check- up and prophylaxis each year. More time has been allotted for home follow-ups this year. A Good Tooth Magic Show and several films were shown in the grades to stress better care of the teeth. ,B 15
