PHYSICAL EDUCATION Look from the windows of the school, and if it is a pleasant day, you will see the boys ' physical education program in prog¬ ress on the field. Nine weeks in the fall and nine in the spring the boys romp in our out-of-door gym. Some day, looking from the same window, we shall see an imposing gymnasium, which will house the extensive physical education and athletic programs of the school. Mr. Gordon Straley keeps many boys happy and healthy through his fine supervision and constant efforts. Page 78

Pre-engineering training is the general objective in the shop program, and many boys find an outlet for creative ability. The well equipped shop includes heavy duty machine lathes, drill presses, power saws, arc welders, three Dodge automobile en¬ gines, and a Kinner airplane engine. Much practical instruction is received from the instructor Mr. Walter Wolever. Students with projects of their own, work them out during shop class. Safety is being stressed first and always.

Miss Bernice Fites has had quite a program on her hands. Besides Math classes in school she also has the girls ' gym classes. The classes are held nine weeks in the fall and nine weeks in the spring. The girls play speedball, softball, soccer, and some archery. One of the most enjoyable of the phy sical education activities is the bowling class on Saturday mornings. In the picture Cora Lu Ulrich, Nancy Parker, Barbara Bryan, Pat Bartlett, and Edna Wilkison are waiting their turn in the Purdue Bowling Alley. Since the out-of-door program must await the decision of the weatherman, girls as well as boys will be glad for that new gymnasium when it becomes a reality. Page 79
