S girls and classes were held in
KtSmall building where the art
■pool is now located which
vas called by students, the Chapel.
It the department had existed for
ly two years, it was very hard
-get the necessity of Physical
(jcation across to the girls.
"Each living organization had
fi basket and one gym suit, un
Hhey found they must have their
Wits in order to graduate,” Hiss
fomson said.
The first year after moving into
rlinger the department felt
|e lost in the large building,
I soon enrollment grew, and it
fes been over-crowded ever since.
There are over 1000 students en
rolled in the required freshman

Miss Thomson has taught al
most every sport open to girls, but
would rather not teach a sport for

years. Her only training for this
work was attendance at confer
ences in Chataqua, New York, and
Los Angeles. The rest of her tech
nique she has developed herself.
