. Sophomore boys taking physical education further their skills in flag football, which they play until beginning wrestling in November. Basketball came after the gym was completed. Other activities dur- ing the year also help them to keep fit and to learn more about sports. Boys move outside learn new skills As renovation moved into the boys ' gym, it presented little trouble for classes as football was the main concern for the fall season. Classes were conducted on the football field, and for locker room facilities, the boys used the area below the bleachers which was designed for the football teams. The boys again took advantage of the brand-new fa- cilities when wrestling classes rolled around. When it was finished in November, the classes moved back into the old-but-new gym. the principal concern bounced to basketball. The weather changed again and boys scurried to the new all-weather track. Although sopho- more boys followed tradition as they trotted along the State Street bridge to the Tennessee bridge or to the Coliseum and back again to North, they also had the advantages of playing on a new floor and meet- ing for physical education in entire- ly new surroundings. Using the area beneath the bleachers, sophomore boys practice the rigors of Virrestling together. Phys Ed 13

Girls learn value of fair play in sports Sophomore girls run twice around the new all-weather track when the weather permits, learn- ing many activities outside and inside. The girls ' physical education classes taught sportsmanship as well as physical coordination to the girls. It was also a time when the students could relax and enjoy different ac- tivities as well as learn new skills. Sophomores participated in arch- ery, badminton, volleyball, gymnas- tics, co-ed square dancing, tennis, and more. Mrs. Kathleen Capper and Miss Anne Donnelly directed the girls ' physical education classes with help from student leaders. Since the swimming pool was not completed, the credit for swimming was not required for graduation of the Class of 1973. Completion of new tennis courts started a new ac- tivity, however. Girls learned the basic knowledge of tennis which included the stance, the parts of the racket, keeping score, and the rules to follow when playing. Nancy McCue demonstrates exactly how to hold and use the bow in archery, just one of the many sports the girls enjoy. Playing field hockey, girls learn the various equipment, rules, and skills. They are later tested for their accomplishments and progress. 12 Phys Ed
