REQUIRED FOR UNDERCLASSMEN Tech students were required to take two years of Physical Education and a health unit. These require- ments were met in sophomore and iunior years. The color system was used to build the strength, morale, and incentive of the boy students. Under this system the boys were required to pass certain tests before they could wear the color corresponding to the degree of physical fitness they had obtained. Consisting of five units, the girls' Physical Educa- tion program offered such indoor activities as tum- bling, gymnastics, swimming, and basketball. For the spring unit the girls were given a choice between archery, tennis, track and field, or golf.
