MANY SPORTS ON
SCHOOL PROGRAM

The Plentywood Schools have great
ly enlarged the Sports for Recrea-
ton activities this fall. Many new
and interesting recreational sports
have been added to both the high
school and the upper grade programs.
The intermediate grades have also
been included in the plans. Under the
direction of Mr.. Crush, and with the
assistance of Miss Early, Miss Laird,
Miss Brix and MIR. Richardson, a var
iety of beneficial activities Of a sport
nature have been worked into a pro-
gram designed to meet the needs OF
every boy aand girl. Regular play ac-
tivities will be carried on in the lower
grades by the teachers in charge.
Much enthusiasm has been aroused
aand interest is being created in six
man football, horseback riding, cycling
golf, archery, horseshoe, etc. With the
changing trend in the amount of lei
sure time available, the local schools
are keeping abreast of the times by
trying to meet the iituation with a
well planned program of worthwhile
sports for all. Interscholastic sports
will still play an important part in the
life Of the school but the new program
is designed to take care of those boys
and girls who either do not have the
ability or the interest in such activi-
ties to take an active part. The Plen-
tywood schools are especially inter-
ested in creating an interest in sports
OF a r%ecreational nature that will carry
over to the days after our boys and
girls have finished their schooling. The
sports included in the plan are select
ed with this as a definite objective.
The average health program does not
reach the rank and file of the student
body. With its well rounded program
for all boys and girls, the Plentywood
schools hope to point the way to a
richer fuller life for the boys and girls
while in school.
Chorus work for both boys and
girls in the high school, as well as
dramatics, will still be emphasized and
under the direction of Mrs. Opgrande.
Interscholastic sports will continue to
be guided by MI. Skor. Three band
groups are under the direction of MIR.
Fossum, Science clubs, supervised by
Mr.. Shelly, a Press club and school
paper under the direction of Miss
Mead, Home-makers club and related
girls activities under Mrs. Kostka's
sponsorship complete the high scsool
activities program.
A we'll planned activities program
worked tut by Mr.. Fossum and other
faculty members balances the pro-
gram through the week. A minimum
and maximum load will be determined
SO a sto assuse a control over the
amount of participate no individual
The daily class program has
been shortened a half hour SO as to
permit music, dramatics, club meet
and the like to be held on differ
.nt days from 3:45 to 4:30. All athletic
will be carried on after 4:30. This will
permit the boys and girls from the
rural sections to take part. as well as
the boys who go out for interscholas-
tic athletics. The daily class programs
will not be broken up aas formerly so
a more efficient curricular program
should result.
1t is hoped and expected that to-
with the gains made through
oarticipation in the activities program
itself. other gains will he made in
the quality of work done in the regu-
lar classes. Sound minds can develop
in healthy bodies and it is fully
anticipated that the sports and other
