I don’t like the font.

Jane, please get your old cap back. I hate that hat. As for gym class, I never liked it either but I wasn’t that bad.

A few lines from a very famous song:
.
" …. She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was as nervous as she could be
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was afraid that somebody would see …."

I’m with Jane…. HATED gym…. three left feet….
and love the hat!

Alexi…. the words seem to fit…. at least for that stanza….

but somehow I doubt Jane’s motivation is the same!

I don’t like a some things either but I have to put up with them. Fonts, on the other hand, especially when the vicar drops water on your head and calls you something you don’t want to be called……..

@SusanSunshine

That’s why there’s just that stanza.

Tell the people what she wore….on second thoughts, no.

And a slightly different take on the end of that song:

Now at last, she has found her bikini

On the beach it had been along

So she strolled down the beach til the lifeguard

Finally made her put it on!

Question: Very few people participate in team sports. Obesity is a growing problem at all age levels. Most people hit the gym for things like circuit training, swimming, Pilates and yoga.

So why is physical education still stuck in the 1950’s with a complete emphasis on team sports and almost none on life long activities that promote healthy weight and healthy lifestyles?

Instead of being indoctrinated into the ritualized tribalism of Organized Sports, what would be so awful about a program of Tai Chi, Yoga, anatomy, and nutrition, to teach kids how to live in the bodies they will be in for the rest of their lives? The current football-based P.E. model will leave most of them drinking cheap beer and eating fatty foods in a smoky bar by age 30. As for strategy, learn to play chess. As for teamwork, how about a civics class where we learn to get along and reach reasonable compromises, instead of beating each other to a pulp and risking brain injuries. School districts would have enough money for academic programs if they weren’t dumping tax revenues into athletic facilities that have nothing to do with the core educational mission. I’ll never vote for a bond issue that includes astroturf and lights for a high school stadium. I pay too much already for things I don’t agree with.

And Jane wonders why she’s not butch.

2 words: Alumni Donations. One of the very few ways that alumni can relive their glory days as a BMOC is to read about, or watch on TV, the varsity games in the news.
