All of these projects add to the boys' knowledge of handyman activities. The boys have had electric wiring, metalwork, woodwork, and woodfinishing in order to carry to completion the projects already mentioned. It is my belief that a boy who assists in making school equipment has a greater appreciation of its value and will take greater pride in his school.
The department has been able to turn back $140.90 to the town treasurer which helps to pay for lumber and other supplies which were bought during the school year.
It is a definite pleasure to realize that such a depart- ment as ours can provide a real saving to our town through the making of good school projects. Our school committee should be commended on the fact that it has see fit to provide us with a well equipped department that enables us to carry on our training in industrial arts.
Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND E. HARRIS,
Supervisor of Industrial Arts.

REPORT OF THE BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
To the Superintendent of Schools :
The following report is a resumé of the activities in the Boys' Physical Education Department for the year 1938.
With the changing times, the value of this department in the general educational program has become increas- ingly important. It has become a definite factor in helping the individual boy find his place in our everyday life. Athletes, as a rule, are men of action and while all cannot be athletes in the strict sense of the word, it has been the aim of this department to offer a program such that those participating can absorb some of the values and en- thusiasms to be gained in gymnasium contacts and athle- tic experiences. Although the joy of achievement comes to those who specialiaze and perhaps have some superior physical advantage, the joy of physical effort is for every boy. That is the fundamental idea behind our physi- cal education program.
Following up the idea that the younger boy needs the discipline of routine gymnasium work, the junior high school program involved marching and calisthenics as well as apparatus work and group games during the winter months. In the senior high school the formal routine was dispensed with except in instances where individual boys required or desired it. The thought here being that older boys should engage in such sports and activities as are
134
easily pleasurable, with the prospect that these can be car- ried on and enjoyed later in life.
Excellent faculty cooperation aided and abetted the intramural and interscholastic program. The inter-room program was efficiently supervised by Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Oulton of the junior high faculty, and awards were made to the rooms winning championships. Mr. Reynolds again coached the high school hockey and baseball teams, while my duties in the coaching field took in football, bas- ket ball and track. Mr. Langlois gave valuable assistance in football and Mr. Oulton in baseball. All faculty mem- bers cooperated in detail work involved in the running off of interscholastic contests. Championships were won in baseball and track.
The real value of interscholastic games lies not in championships won, however, but rather in the pleasure, wider social contacts, and the character built from friendly competition in skill and strength with other schools.
Respectfully submitted, HARMON A. SMITH,
Supervisor of Boys' Physical Education
135
REPORT OF THE GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
To the Superintendent of Schools :
For the past year the aim of the Girls' Physical Edu- cation program in the Agawam Junior-Senior High School has been twofold,-to develop habits of healthy living, and sportsmanship. Such activities as posture correctives. sports, folk dancing, and Danish Gymnastics have been used as methods to instill this aim.
A slogan has been adopted by this department to in- sure a happy future for Agawam pupils.
By discussion of sports, every girl becomes acquainted with a varied sports program. As far as possible, each girl is given a chance to try such sports as she desires. Said sports are: tennis, badminton, bowling, swimming and horseback riding.
The slogan-"A sport for every girl and every girl in a sport."
Respectfully submitted, DOROTHY R. HASTINGS, Supervisor of Girls' Physical Training
