The physical education classes did their share for the school in keeping the students in shape. The boys wrestled, played soccer, basketball, ping-pong, knee football, and did a lot of hard calisthenics. The girls played baseball and square danced with the boys, learned how to jump on the trampoline, and did exercises. The boys and girls had a combined class on medical self-help. When the sophomores weren't taking physical education, they were in drivers education. The students learned how to drive over the rough roads of Powers and learned many safety hints on driving. 24
