David Tseng says, Take the pic- ture before I drop, as David Hast- ings, Mike Robertson. and Bill Fahrncy hang on for dear life, Physical education is not merely going to the gym, doing some pushups, and playing a game of basketball. It is learning how to make friends, how to handle yourself with people your own age, and most essential, how to work on a team. XVhen a boy leaves the gym after a good half hour of rangers, he will feel tired, certainly, but he will also have a certain feeling of having done something which was good for him, not only physically but also mentally. Hand in hand with the physical part of gym is the teaching of health theory. When a boy goes away from Western he has been taught the value of good health.

Louise lloyd, Joanna Noland, Adri Giauturco, Nadya Kayalofi, Pat Harrison, and Charleeu Hill patch up Sue George. Squat, thrust, one, two! Duck hop, thrce, four! These strange commands echo in the girls' gym when Western's young ladies are tak- ing their exercises. The ever-present exercises are healthful and important. They are designed to strengthen weak muscles and to keep the girls physically fit. The activities ol' the girls' physical education department are many and rarietl. ln the fall the sophomores and juniors play hockey, while the seniors develop archery skills. When the weather becomes too cold to go to the lield, all three grades play basketball in the gym. In the spring, baseball and track-meet preparations are the predominant activities. Exercises are an important part of the girls' physical education curriculum. Mis. Charlotte Hall Mrs. Bernice Wade Miss Delia Whitesell
