ilk. 3' All ot' us have, at one time or another. partieipa ted in gym class or maybe we are enrolled in gym right now. Anyway, we all know how much fun it can be, espeeially it' all the rules are obeyed anfl thrre is good. clean sportsmanship in each and every game. Since Indiana, as lar as sports is concerned. is tirst and foremost a basketball state, everyone naturally enjoys playing basketball. And the girls at S. J. A. are no ex:-eptions. We like nothing better than a fast, elose game ol' bfisketlaall and many is the time that one team has won or lost by only three, or even fewer points As tai as the reasons for gym elass go, the main one seems to be exercise, All day long we sit quietly in the classrooms and study. Otten, especially on a sunny spring day, we get very restless and theretore, gym class is an outlet for all ol' this extra pent-up energy. It gives us a chance to use up. or rather get rid ot, all ol' our restlessness and, at the same time, have a lot o t' fun. For the above reasons. gym class is the most en- joyable elass ot' the clay for mel Virginia Jansen, '55

J' 1' The First Driving Class Of S. J. A. SOLILOQUY OF A CAR AT DRIVING PERIOD Say! Is it cold in this garage! I wish some one would come and take me into town. Oh, no! Look who's coming. The Driving Class. Well, I did want to go somewhere but not that badly. They're all in now, so, here we go. Watch out!What are you trying to do-knock my fenders off? Well, at least we're out ofthe garage. Look out! There is a bush-I mean there was a bush. Finally, we're on the straight road, but it looks as if we're going to stop just to see if Judy can start me again. See! Just what I thou ght-she killed the engine. Now, to start again. Careful! this time. There, she did it just 1'ight now. At least we're moving, only I wish she'd stay on the road instead of on the shoulder. Guess I spoke too soon. That last car took some ot' my blue paint. Oh well! I suppose I can still run without it. Be careful! There is a lady crossing the street and I don't want her blood on my tires. Guess you missed her, but I think you scared her a little-she's sitting on the Jon es' steps. At last it's time to go back. I'll bet Sister is glad as I am to be on the way home after several heart attacks and her nerves shot to pi eces. I know my gears are about wrecked. Aren't you glad you're not a car ? Joanna Ilall '55
