The Swimming Class HERE are about thirty boys enrolled in the swimming class this quarter. ll Most of the boys can not swim, but they have entered the class with the determination to learn. ' The objectives of swimming are recreation, and to help some one who may be in distress in the water. As a form of recreation and exercise swimming is one of the bestg on hot afternoons on the farm, there is nothing quite like running down to the old swimming hole for a swim and a few refreshing minutes. Swimming does not require a lot of muscular strength, but it will build up the muscular structure of weak boys and girls, at the same time giving the co-ordination of body parts. The class has been in progress for two weeks and we have had many funny experiences already. Two of the boys in the class can swim perfectly under water, but as soon as they come above water to take a breath of air, down to the bottom they go. This is just a matter of co-ordination and will be remedied soon. The experiences of these two boys has brought a revolution in methods of learning to swim. There have been no tragedies so far, and we are all sure that there will be none. In closing, the boys say that they will all be seals by the end of the quarter. -G. A. KRUEGER.

Q' Y? 1 RESTLING at the School of Agriculture has again taken a stride forward. f This sport has become very popular. Every evening the boys can be found in ' the training rooms developing the art of clever wrestling. , I L X Wrestling is considered one of the most strenous sports. It is different than most Q If i other sports in that each man must depend entirely upon himself when on the mat. He .QQ cannot rely on his team-mates to help him through when in a tight place. It also is one , of the finest sports for developing the body. When. in action, almost every muscle l is put into play. Wrestling also develops balance, speed, and the ability to think quickly, aj Rl above all it develops real sportsmanship. lv' . . l . lfbxl This season over 120 men reported regularly for practice. There have been a great number of fine men developed into outstanding wrestlers.

It is with deep regret that I leave l them in the spring. 1 X 3 -WALLACE MILLER. ly' W jyfl .

The Girls' Athletic Association HE interest in athletics among the girls has been greater this year than in the past. The able direction of Miss Kaercher and the hearty co-operation of mem- bers of the club are responsible for the success of the Girls' Athletic Association. The association helps to promote good fellowship among the girls. Officers were elected and regular meetings were held, at which captains for field meet events, school teams and class teams were chosen. Joint meetings were held with the Boys' Athletic Club, when plans were made for the Thanksgiving Ball, and the Field Meet and Home Coming Dance. Refreshments and decorations for these occasions were provided by committees appointed by the clubs. Pep fests were held in the auditorium, when rousing cheers emerged from the Administration Building. The cheering at the games was even more enthusiastic and spurred the teamsito give their best for the school. The school has a regular Girls' Basketball team and a Girls' Volley Ball team. Each class also has a team. Several basketball games with outside teams were played during the year and the Aggies dashed away with the highest score several times. A number of girls who were outstanding in athletics have won the letter A and many have Won emblems for swimming and for taking part in the field meets for three years. I i L .
