letics together is to develop leadership in every child. The organization of the various groups into teams helps in carrying on a definite program of activities in training leadership and fellowship. Small responsibilities can be designated from time to time such as referring, acting as group coaches and captains of different teams. Physical education and intramural activities will dev velop in the student courage, self control, self-sacrifice, courtesy, kindness, loyalty, obedience, honesty, cooperation and initiative. It also will promote the desire for whole- some associations and recreation. It will develop proper spirit toward victory and defeat and last, good character. Physical Education and intramurals will reach every boy in high school and will create wholesome recreation and good social contacts by giving the boy a chance to meet other in- dividuals of his own age. It will create group spirit--a devotion which is symbolic of the patriotism of a citizen today, to the state and nation. It is therefore a worth- while attitude to be cultivated among our growing youth--the men of tomorrow. GIRLS GROUP The girls at the beginning of the year selected a stan- dard ngym-suitu and now each girl in school owns one and is allowed to use a wire basket locker in which to keep it and other equipment. As the new building was not yet completed, a well' or- ganized program was difficult to put into use. However, in the early part of the year the girl's section of the physii cal education department entertained the district P.T.A. meeting, parish fair, and participated in the dedication program. Class instruction includes 'such activities as playing indoor games, building pyramids, doing formal calis- thenies and folk dances, and learning first aid. At the physical education exhibition given on April 21, the girls demonstrated some of the things they had Tlearned about giving artificial respiration, carrying injured per- sons, applying different typcs of bandages, marching, calise thcnics, and folk dancing. Representing the tennis class, Wanita Boudreaux, Rosemary Hardee, Cgirls doubles! and Pat- ricia Boudreaux entered the Lafayette tennis tournament. The doubles won third place. It is hoped that next year, with the installation of more gym equipment, the physical educa- tion program as begun in the past two years will progress even more.
