Physical Education Encompasses Our Health

Physical education offers a variety of different skills. The activities which include basketball, valley ball, tumbling, ping-pang, softball, badminton, dancing, and tennis, are afforded to girls. Since such a varied schedule is afforded, the student is introduced to a wider range of knowledge about sports. The object and rules of each sport are explained, thus giving the student a better understanding of athletics, which in turn gives him a better appreciation towards sports. For each activity, new skills are learned and older ones are more fully developed. Both boys and girls participate in calisthenics which help develop body movements and co-ordination. The boys indulge in more strenuous sports like football, baseball, and wrestling. Contests ore conducted in the gym classes for almost every form of activity. Competition among the chosen squads stimulates the students interest and leads to a competitive spirit.Because one of the chief purposes of physical education training is to obtain better health, a study of health is required of freshmen and sophomores. Sophomores study the function and core of the body, while the freshmen's main course is first aid.
