.. .With The Greatest Of Ease
By Grace Rowland
Now that Coach Goodwin hast
physically broken, maimed, and
injured, the male population of
Behrend Campus, he is starting
with the girls. Mrs. McLane, the
woman’s physical education in
structor. had left her wild basket
ball games and trampoline tricks
for a while in order to recover
from the mumps which she caught
from her young daughter.
Oblivious of this change in in
structors, I entered gym class and
saw fifteen “blue bloomer babes”,
under the direction of most hon
orable coach, straining to pile the
mud-colored mats on top of one
another. When they were finished,
they had a blockade that would
have stopped General Sherman on
his grand march to the sea. I
listened with apprehension. as
Coaeh explained that the object of
the little game was to jump over
the small mountain. My enthusi
asm was immediately squelched
when he added that eventually we
would be diving over the rolled
mats. The thought of this re
minded me too much of playing
tag with a green station wagon
sporting a New Jersey license
plate, and I chose a safe seat on
the side lines and settled down
to watch the proceedings.
The girls formed a line, and one
by one, they went up and over.
' Each time around, the feat became
more difficult. Finally Coach
brought out the small trampoline.
I will admit that 1 am a coward,
but I couldn’t help thinking that
here was where the real fun would
begin. Step - step - step - jump -
whoosh - BANG! With pony tails
bobbing and legs flailing the girls
—when they finally stopped roll
ing—stood up dizzily, either from
the excitement or from being up
side-down for the last thirty-seven
seconds. They all looked very
happy and none the worse for
their ordeal, but by the end of the
period, I was a wreck. I think the
bang as they landed’was what did
it.’
