ll 0 3 i-nf if xt, e u lhlelfic Paaweu - fi I5 Football Reserve Squad timers Pershing, with its wholly inadequate facilities for health education, is meeting in a successful manner the serious problem of producing able- bodied young men and women for a country at war. The physical fitness program inaugurated several semesters ago is conducted outdoors dur- ing the fine weather of the fall months. During inclement weather, the classes move into the school corridors and health education rooms, and there under the competent guidance of the health instructors, students can be seen executing the connnands to the tune of One, two, three, four,- one, two, three, four, Boxing, tumbling and combative games are also part of the program. ln addition to the health program for all, com- petitive sports have been maintained. Pershing had the best cross country team in the history of the school, taking the East League championship and placing third in the city meet. With two Vet- erans from last year, the golf team under the guid- ance of Coach Kolodziejski finished third in the city. This is the best Pershing has done in the past tive years. The reserve football team, coached by Mr. Kol- odzieislci iinished the season with four victories against one defeat. We can truly say that Per- shing has had one of the best allearound athletic seasons for many years. FS-.,.,,,,
