PHYSICAL EDUCATION At Murphy, emphasis is placed on improving physically as well as mentally, and to achieve this, two years of physical education are required. Students are not graded on physical progress as much as on good sportsmanship, spirit of teamwork, and willingness to co-operate. Health habits are encouraged, and the enjoyment of the game is taught as well as the fundamentals of the game. Physical Education students have the use of two well equipped gyms and an indoor pool. The gyms have tumbling equipment and basketball and indoor recreational equipment. Outdoors are a football field, baseball diamonds, tennis and volleyball courts, an archery range, soccer field, and track. MR.
