THE VAN OF 1932 J PHYSICAL EDUCATION Health is the indispensable foundation for the satisfaction of life. Everything of domestic joy or occupational success has to be built on bodily wholesomeness and vitality. Health is essential to the enjoyment, all through life, of sports and active bodily exercise. It is also necessary to continuous capacity for hard workg and it is only through active play and hard Work that any- body can make sure of the durable satisfactions of life. No scheme of education can claim to be rounded out and to be de- veloped to its fullest extent unless it provides for physical education. The purpose of all education is to strengthen character and promote citizenship, and physical education is particularly situated to do these things as well as promote healthy and Well built bodies. In the physical education department these ideals and aims are being approached through such activities as athletic games, sports, rhythmical drills and aesthetic exercises. Very much interest is being shown and the classes are gradually increasing. Basketball is a favorite game and each year a class tournament is held. Last year the surprise of the girls' tourney was the victory of the Sophomores over the other classes, While the Junior boys won the boys' tournament. Deck tennis and kick pin ball have been added to the girls' program and they have been accepted with much enthusiasm. Clog and character dances have also proved to be very popular With the girls. The biggest event of the year is the physical education demonstra- tion. This program is a demonstration of the regular class Work and is Well supported by the patrons of the school.
