Tnstracto -Physical Education
Physical education in the higb
school plays a very Important part
in the activities of the students. It
affords an outlet tor surplus en
ergy as weU as developing the
bodies of the growing children
and alsov tends to break ,the mpn-
otoay of the class room woricjTne
program of the department is -var
ied enough to offer the numerous
students activities they will enjoy.
It allows theft to take part in the
sports In which they are most in
terested.
The general work of the year
consisting of calisthenics, drills,
marching, apparatus work and
tumbling. Every student Is given
this work. It is supplemented with
team games which are carried on
with the regular gymnasium pro
gram. The program this year con
sists of indoor soccer, basketball,
volleyball, foul throwing, bowl
ing, track, wrestling and swim
ming. Every class Is divided int' teams
and every- boy is placed on a
squad which gives him the oppor
tunity to play the games and
learn them as well. This encour
ages the students to engage-in all
lines of athletics until they find
some one sport desirable for their
own recreation.
The lntra-mural plan Is used in
the gym classes which makes the
competition more complete be
cause the winners from each class
meet In a play off series. The ob
jective is to have every boy in
some form of athletic competition.
Corrective Gymnastics
The two divisions of the physi
cal education program are regular
and corrective gymnastics. The
students are examined -by the
county health unit when they en
ter the high school. Those having
physical defects are placed in the
corrective classes where they are
given exercises to correct their
ailments. The students having no
defects are assigned to regular
gym classes.
The main defects found are flat
feet, curvature of the spine and
round shoulders. Other defects
are heart, conditions, paralytic
conditions rd old injuries which
have caused a slight deformity to
the part of the body affected.
All these are given special at
tention and exercises a prescrib
ed to enable the student tcThver
eoma hia defect.' There are 49
boya la tha corrective classes this
year. Last year 20 boys assigned
to the corrective 1 class were re
leased to the regular class before
the year ended., ; ; ;;V
Tha high, school athletics which
come under the supervision of the
physical education department are
in a great many ways beneficial to
the students engaged fa them. The
only drawback la that only a few
are benefitted by the interscholas
tie, competition and for that rea
son the lntra-mural plan has be
come a major part of the physical
education programs because every
student Is given an opportunity to
participate regardless of expert-
ence or ability. . 4
Major sports engaged in by the
nign scnooi are football, basket
bail, track and baseball, The
minor sports bein swimming,
tennis, golf and wrestling. The
high school has been very suc
cessful. In the major sports for
many years . and the f ntnre la
bright. The minor sports which
are new in . ost cases are making
rapid progress.
The swimming program which Is
conducted by the Y. M. C A. is
proving a success. The students
are dl Ided into groups according
to their ability. The divisions are
beginners, intermediate, advan
ced and llfesavers. Each group is
given separate Instruction. An In
terclass swimmlnz meet will ell
max the program for the semes
ter's work.
The divisions of competition for
