To Unfold Before Our Eyes PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Keeping students physically fit is the chief aim of the physical edu- cation department. Boys’ classes concentrate on various fields of track, calisthenics, and the funda- mentals of football and basketball. Girls’ gym classes learn balance and rhythm through modern dancing and rope jumping. Apparatus, tum- bling, volleyball, basketball, and softball teach body co-ordination. Boys and girls in the physical education department study first aid, hygiene, and drivers’ training during their four years of this re- quired subject. Miss Ann Parker Brenau College, B.S.
