PE Accents Dual Goal Of Fitness, Preparation

Physical fitness for all students and teacher preparation are goals of the physical education department. North Texans must have four P. E. hours for graduation.

For physical education majors, practical work is combined with classroom lectures. In November a Play Day was sponsored by the recreation in American culture class. About 800 Girl Scouts and Brownies were entertained on the Lab School field with stunts, games, a s sack lunch and hootenanny.

Due to the increased popularity of gymnastics, members of the faculty began preparations for a summer workshop to include theory and demonstrations of dance and gymnastics.
