THE POINT SYSTEM is INTRO
DUCED INTO PHYSICAL
EDUCATION CLASSES
A new system by which pupils
may earn points for credit in their
work in physical education has
been introduced. After earning five
hundred points a school letter is
given to the pupil. When one hun
dred points have been earned an
emblem is given to the pupil and
when three hundred points have
been earned a certificate of award
is presented. Points are received
by being able to pass certain tests
in the various sports and activities.
Points are also given on certain
outside sports such as hiking and
bicycling according to the number
of hours spent at this activity. A
stunt program was just finished and
girls who were able to pass the
tests for the various stunts were
given points for credit.
Everyone has an opportunity to
earn a letter. There is a possibil-
ity of getting over six hundred
points and the qualifications for
points are so varied that with a
little effort any girl may win a let
ter.
