Boys develop slcill and muscular control through vigorous activities which include calisthenics, apparatus worlc, and marching. ln the tall they try out tor the tootball squad. This sport gives them a very rough program. Through the winter there is baslcetball which leaves everybody holding his breath. in the spring comes the ever popular baseball. There are numerous other sports also which the boys enjoy. The girls too have a chance to play tootball, basketball, and baseball. They have an individual sports class which teaches tennis. golt, and badminton. There is also a modern dance class which teaches the girls poise and grace.

Home and Family Class Discussions The course in Home and Family Living is ot' tered as an elective in the tweltth grade. Stu- dents discuss problems related to themselves and to other teenagers so that they may know how to act in later lite. Many ot these situations are shown to the pupils in movies. Later in class the pupils dis- cuss these movies and decide what was right. and what was wrong. and what might have been done or said to have smoothed over the situation, The course at Roosevelt is taught by Miss Comley.
