Description:	(girls J\tlji?itniaHELEN HODGMANAlthough this is only Miss Hodgmans second year in B. H. S., she hasproved to be a successful gym teacher and has done a great deal to further interest in physical education for girls. As sponsor of the G. A. A. she has createdmuch enthusiasm in the club.It is in high school that most girls lay the foundation for their future lifeas the womanhood of America. Mental education alone cannot attain the goalto which they aspire; it must be supplemented by physical education. Theymust be strong physically to do the work required of them and Bloomingtonrecognizes this by requiring some physical education and by offering outsideactivities for those who care to go farther in the work.During a part of the year the classes and sports were held up on accountof the remodelling of the gym but they are now making up for lost time.Miss Purdy, who occupies the place left vacant by the resignation of MissNeff at the end of the first semester, came too late for us to have her picture inthe Gothic.Page One Hundred Thirty-Nine
