To build co-ordination and endurance of motion, the mem- bers of the GIRLS' GYMNAS- TICS CLUB were taught vari- ous skills in apparatus work, cal- isthenics, and tumbling. The ability to take orders was ac- quired while performing march- ing routines. As a result of their training, the girls were able to assume po- sitions as leaders in their physi- cal education classes. A new club with a new idea, the LEADERS' CLUB, was in- troduced at the beginning of the school year. The members hoped to become outstanding physical education students by participat- ing in gymnastics and team games during the club period. In the fall the boys took part in such outdoor sports as foot- ball, baseball and speedball. The winter found them on the appar- atus and climbing ropes, with wrestling as an added feature.

The knowledge they acquired at club meetings, such as learning to use the slide rule for multiplication and division, was of practical value in class. Among other things, members constructed mathematical models and demonstrated their use. The members of the CERAMICS CLUB assembled each week to learn about the making of pottery and other ceramic forms. Under careful supervision, they experimented with various techniques of making these forms. The different meth- ods that they employed were casting and plaster molds. Their imagination and creative talents were put to use in decorating their finished products in a variety of original ways with designs and decals. YW?

Through the OFFICIALS' CLUB the boys gained a better knowledge and learned the rules of all the major sports. The club instilled in the members the ideals of good sportsmanship and manners at all athletic contests. Putting their knowledge to prac- tical use, the boys oificiated for all intramural and Wayne Town- ship Lcague basketball and soft- ball games during the year. En garde! is the familiar cry of the FENCING CLUB. Its members delighted in attack- ing each other vigorously with the poise and co-ordination of medieval nobles. The fundamen- tals of defense and attack, such as parries and stances, were taught to beginners. The more intricate maneuvers were learned by the experienced members.
