hard to get them to take showers
after their classes.
Slowly improvements are being
effected. Showers are being in
stalled in the newer high schools
which shoot out a spray at shoulder
level instead of overhead.
Some of the girls wear loose-fit-
ting rubber caps when they shower
but without lockers for each girl it
is hard to keep them around.
They ought to have hair drying
machines. But you simply can't get
any money for girls athletics. If
ever there is cut in appropriations
it comes out of girls athletics. Boys
get uniforms for games, lockers and
towels. But not girls"
Seems we have heard that before
some place.
