gym class variation from formal studies Calisthenics started off each period, as the boys per- formed rigorous exercises daily in the boys’ Physical Edu- cation Department. As a change from scholastic studies, boys participated in such sports as tennis, golf, softball, flag football, swimming, track, gymnastics, and wrestling. According to Coach Don Lamb, one of the main objec- tives of the Physical Education classes was to acquaint boys with various sports, so that they may gain knowledge in these different areas. Synchronized swimming was taught for the first time this year in some of the girls’ Physical Education classes. Soph- omore girls who had “A” and “B” grade averages were able to choose the sports they wished to participate in. This was the first year sophomores were granted this privilege, for- merly offered only to junior and senior girls. Various sports and activities included archery, tennis, golf, badminton, volleyball, swimming, life saving, modern dance, and trampoline. Archery is one of ihc many spons in which girls may participate in gym class.
