Q if' l P13 si' rw Calisthenics Squad Every morning at 10:30 o'clock a bell rings throughout the high school build- ing. ll'indows are thrown open, pupils take their places in the aisle, in their own room facing one who is also a pupil, but acting as a director of the daily calisthenic drill in that class. The XVest High daily calisthenic drill is begin- ning. For seven minutes, every pupil in the building goes thru vigorous, stimu- lating and health giving exercises, under the leadership of boys who have been especially trained for this work. A leader being assigned to each room, and do- ing his work in a very commendable and satisfactory way. This short. daily drill, is in addition to the regular gymnasium periods, which come once a week. The exercises in the drill consist of stretching movements, relaxing, trunk bend- ing, back twisting, leg movements and deep breathing. The result is most de- sirable and satisfactory, in a physical, mental and moral way. It would be diffi- cult to over-estimate the value of this daily setting up exercise. It not only gives a very decided aid and boost while taking and immediately after, but has a de- cided influence upon the future health, happiness and prosperity of the pupil. Some high schools have a short daily setting up drill in addition to the regular gym class, but the writer knows of no High School where this is done thru the medium of leaders, tlligh school boys who have been specially trained for the work J. The boys who are acting as leaders deserve a great deal of credit. Page one hundred and four
