KING OF THE BARS
BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Part of the gym class at
the north side of the gym-
nasium.
The Physical Education class has had a very in-
teresting and helpful program during the past year
under the leadership of John Richards.
In the fall much of the time was spent in playing
softball, speedball, and soccer. The teams for all
these games were taken from the class itself. At
the beginning of each period throughout the year
calisthenics were given to strengthen and to exer-
cise the muscles. In spite of the many stiff necks
and sore legs, all agreed that these exercises helped
much in building up our bodies.
During the winter months, the class spent its time
in volleyball, basketball, tumbling, and acrobatics
on the parallel bars.
The class was divided into five teams and a tour-
nament was held among these five in basketball
and in volleyball. Some days were given over to
field meets. In these meets, the boys from each
team went through a certain set of tumbling and
acrobatics on the parallel bars, and each one was
awarded one, two, or three points according to the
perfection of his performance.
