Physical Education Presents Activities For Every Interest-From lsometrics To Archery Along with the fundamental training of the mind, the Pat- rick Henry Physical Education Department believes that the students should be instructed so- cially, physically, and! emotion- ally. This department provides opportunities for participation in physical activities, for develop- ment of the organic systems so that each may function at its highest level, and for building skills in activities with a favor- able attitude toward sportsman- ship that will carry over and be useful during leisure time. By using s'pecially designed equipment, such as contractional bars, boys are able to participate in isometrics, they may also par- ticipate in such athletics as vol- leyball, basketball, track, foot- ball, tumbling, ping pong, golf, tennis, and baseball. Girls may engage in many of the sports and activities just listed. ln addition gymnastics, hockey, archery, badmiton, and the newly organized bowling pro- gram are available. Gratifying box office receipts from the Phys. Ed. Show will mean the purchase of much new equip- ment for the Physical Education Department. ln tumbling, classes learned how to build four ti-er pyramids as demonstrated by the second period junior gym class.
