PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Girls’ Physical Education Department started off with a bang this year. The girls did more marching and calisthenics than they ever did before. Physical fitness tests were given during the year, which resulted in a remarkable showing for some students. The girls especially enjoyed the dancing classes. For a few weeks they devoted their whole class periods to the Highland Fling and the Joanne, which will constitute the program for the Spring Demonstra¬ tion. The extra-curricular activities got under way with the Sport Coun¬ cil. The girls enjoyed bowling after school at the YMCA. Class basketball teams were chosen and a series of games played. Now the main interests are volleyball and softball. The credit for such an enjoyable, well-rounded year goes to our leader, Mrs. Plumley. This year the Boys’ Physical Education Department of Westfield High School has continued the Physical Fitness Program as instituted by our State. The need for physically fir young men in the armed forces was foremost in determining the gymnastic program. Included in the program was jumping, vaulting, dropping, and ladder and rope climb¬ ing. Regular group calisthenics constituted at least half of the classes’ activities. Conditioning exercises were usually followed by basketball dodge ball, or volleyball. Occasionally military drill was practiced to familiarize everyone with its technique. With the arrival of spring and good weather, baseball took the classes outside. The majority of the boys have realized and fully appreciated the benefits derived from this accelerated program. Former students, now Mr Konstanty members of our armed forces, visited school and expressed high ad¬ miration for our high school physical education. A T R « Pt itmi t- ' v Today, more than ever before, emphasis is placed on the physical well being of school students. For this reason, our community has seen the need for a school nurse, not only to see to the needs and ills of students but to those of the community as well. Under the careful supervision of the State Department of Health, children who are absent from school three days are required to be examined by the nurse before entering classes. This prevents the spread of colds and other more serious diseases. Medical care for the needy is also at¬ tended to in the community. This work is under the careful super¬ vision of our town health officers. Besides her usual work, the nurse has been teaching classes in first aid—The Aidettes. Members are learning how to make beds, care for the sick, and roll bandages. It has proven to be of great help. Recently tuberculosis X-rays were taken. Those taking the tests included a great number of school students, workers in local indus¬ tries, and town citizens. Miss Buckley as nurse, deserves great credit for her patient, un¬ tiring work with us this year. Miss Buckley 45
