Pam Linman The overall program for boys and girls physical education emphasized physical fitness in accordance with the current emphasis being placed in this area by the leaders of our nation. Periods began with vigorous exercises and lapsed into various sports. Team and individual sports were stressed so the student could devolope his talents and sportsmanship. The skill of trampoline jumping, basketball, golf, archery, tennis, and many other sports were taught to both the boys and girls phy-ed classes.
