19 The hattlefcries of friendly enemies are heard as the physical education classes carry on their wcllfrounded program. Wezik hodies are not conducive to strong minds, so the gym classes provide relaxation from the academic program hy furnishing the exercises and com' petitive games so greatly enjoyed hy everyone. The girls enthusiastically enter the many activities carried on under the direction of Miss lVlacDonald and Miss Vander Brock hecause they know that each sport henefits them in some way. Ping pong develops a quick eye and a quicker hand. Volley hall and haskethall afford healthful exertion, while poise and grace are attained through rhythm dancing. Since so many activif ties cannot he crowded into the husy seven periods of ALLEY OOP ! the school day, afterfschool practice is carried on four days a week. The seniors were victorious in the winter hasket- hall tournament. Helen Wzllter, a junior, won the girls' ping pong tournament. In the city meet at junior College, the Union girls came in second. The hoys' classes, under the ahle supervision of Mr. Liskey, also engaged in many stimulating tussles during the school year. Baskethall, with most of the hoys, holds the position of favorite gym sport. Indoor, highfjumping and linefsoccer also rate high. In addition to the pleasure derived from sports, gym activities cultivate a spirit of play, muscular and mental coordination, and cooperation.
