Supervised Play For
All Students.

Fleetwood high schools ath-
letic program during the year has
been more diversified than ever
before. During the early weeks
of the school year an attempt was
made to sponsor a program of
sports that would appeal to ev-
cry boy and girl and at the same
time give them the necessary
fundamentals for health, safety,
first aid, and physical growth.
A major part of the boys played
softball and those that did not
take part in this game were
supervised in such sports, as
jumping, running, horseshoe
pitching and other sports which
are familiar to the average coun-
try boy. Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Mil
Ter have attempted to give each
high school student an opport-
unity to take an active part in
some form of physical exercise.
One period is given to the boys
and one to the girls just for ply
steal education program.
This program has been made a
part of the regular curriculum
and not extra-curricular as has
often been thought Of. The stu
dents have taken the instruction
more seriously and have helped
to make the program a success.
In cooperation with the State
Department of physical education
Mr.. Davis has made use of a text
book on the subject Of health and
safety education. In this. way he
has been able to corre1ate physical
and mental education, First. aid
instruction has been given. to the
students in the proper care of
cuts, bruises, sprains, and all
types of minor ailments. ~.

twelve games and lost eight. The
girls won ten and lost eight. This
record would indicate that in that
one sport the school was not so
successful, but Mr.. Davis has been
trying to show the students that
winning is of secondary import
ance and that physical growth is
primary. The school and the COM
munity feel that this is a trend
toward better program of ply
steal education for all students
and a departure from the idea
that physical education is only
for a few.

Since the fields must come up to speci- fications for handling multimotor cred ships construction problems in the peculiar type of ground be com3 numerous.
 Other major air fields may be added to the list of seven, already approved before spring, MT Hop pin said.
