The class also helps to develop a sense of Team work and an attitude toward good sportsmanship. The boys have gym two days a week and participate in many dif- ferent types of sports. ln the fall they play touch football, run track and play some soccer. Inside they engage in such sports as basketball, volley- ball, and tumbling. The coming of spring brings the familar sight of them playing softball. Water polo is a favorite of boy's swimming classes when they dive into the pool three days a week. Relays and dodgeball are also on their list of most popular games.
