Physical development stressed in Physical Education Girls' gym classes have stressed physical educa- tion. Rope jumping and gymnastic exercises start each day. This keeps the body in tune and im- proves body coordination. Rules and skills learned in team sports have been interesting, but they also have given the girls an opportunity to show and demonstrate sportsmanship. Exercising in the gym class are seventh grade boys as they perform one of their regular routines. Boys' physical education classes are preparing to be physically equpipped to meet the challenge of the future. They begin each day's class with exercises, while basketball, volleyball, touch foot- ball, boxing, wrestling, tumbling, and group games are a few of the activities done throughout the year. The year's activity ends with boys going to the part to play softball during the pretty spring days. -.24-.. f
