Shaler's gym classes have always had a well- trained staff of teachers in addition to a wide variety of activities. The junior high girls' classes are under the able direction of Miss Snider xvhile the boys in the junior high are taught by Mr. Hollihan and Mr. Martin. Mrs. Barr supervises the instruction of the Senior high girls. The boys in the Senior high have Mr. Martin as their teacher. The classes use a variety of many different sports to make and keep them interesting. The girls do exercises as well as participate in such sports as soccer, basketball, softball, volley ball, and a variety of other sports requiring cooper- ation of the team. They also practice drills in the sports that are done individually. By do- ing these drills better co-ordination is developed. The boys' instruction is about the same as the girls. They, too, do exercises and play many of the same sports the girls do. The main team sports are volley ball, basketball, and softball. They also do the individual sports of rope climbing, wrestling, and tumbling. The health classes have one period per week to meet for instruction. lluring this tiine they study about the different organs and systems in the body and how these systems function. Some classes are instructed in first aid so they can be prepared in case of an emergency. The seniors study a course in mental health since they already have studied the body functions. Shalei-'s students really have a good gym anl health course.
