PHYSICAL EDUCATION The aim of the Physical Education Department, besides physical fitness, is to assist students in work- ing and co-operating with one another. Social as well as physical development is important in the individuals attitude after graduation. During the school year, each student has the op- portunity to participate in inter-scholastic and intra- mural sports. Teamwork and a respect for regu- lations are invaluable results, helping to shape the individuals view on his future activities. MRS. MARY F. KNAPP MR. FELIX J. DIXON Q y,., f Q ' I sf l l fs xi
