Gymnastics was the largest area in the department. Excellent equipment was provided for student use in this section. The activities of field hockey and hard- ball were different classes from those offered in other Tucson Public High Schools. Boys in their senior year who took PE as an elective were involved in senior leadership. They assisted teachers with different activities in freshmen classes. Modified PE was offered for those with health problems. The activities offered to them were horseshoes, table tennis and modified gymnastics. A doctor's excuse was needed for a boy to be classified into a modified physical education class. Much time was spent scheduling the facilities so they could be put to maxi- mum use. They were not only shared by both the boys' and girls' classes, but also by the boys in sports. XR .. is 'Wig 's
