McMichael, S. Rambo J. Guinther is Miss Geiger. Physical education ranges from individual and team sports to dancing, games, formal exercises, and co-recreational activities. The objective of physical education is the development of strength, agility, stamina, body coordination, and physical skills that will be of direct value in life's situations. E ucfmow D MRS.

Health is the cardinal principle of education and there is no doubt health knowledge is essential since little can be accomplished in life without good health. Since every individual and student is entirely responsible for her own health, she should have a greater respect for her body, what it can do, and be in the habit of keeping it at its best.
