We are fortunate in having a school with modern and excellent facilities in a new gymnasium and athletic field, thus all boys and girls are able to participate in the stimulating and exciting competition of various athletic pursuits. The gymnasium is not just a place for after school sports such as basketball and indoor track, but it has an important part in the everyday gym course. This course consists of gymnastics, weight-lifting, volleyball, square dancing, and many other health and character-building activities. Fair play, good sportsmanship, and sound health values are lessons which are learned both in intramural and inter-school contests. Knowing how to win with zest and lose with grace is valuable knowledge that will stay with every student through the years to come. Exercise and fun through friendly competition.
