Show Squash, Dancing, Teaching, Liked By Miss Walker Miss Virginia Walker, of South's gym department, really enjoys teaching high school students, because, be-cause, "even if they're not anxious to, they can learn quickly," School, dancing, farming, and participating in civic activities keep Miss Walker's every moment full. Her education includes courses at the U. of U., the B. Y. U., the U. S. A. C, and the university at Greeley, Colorado. She has, at one time or another, taught all grades from kindergarten to college, and likes to teach them all. "College is one of my favorites," she said, because they are so decided as to their courses in life." Dancing one of her many accomplishments, ac-complishments, accentuates her grace, and she loves to do it. She has a small group of dance students stu-dents who entertain or demonstrate for interested audiences. Creative work is a talent she tries to develop de-velop in her gym classes. Her very favorite topic of conversation con-versation is farming. She cultivates a Victory garden she is proud of. Miss Walker has a different plot, though, for she specializes in squash. She has any kind of squash one could want. Her garden is full of curfiques and lovely lines." She likes the picture of her squash and flowers together, "Because they make such nice dance designs," she explained. A great agricultural tragedy was when her apple crop froze. A mass of white blossoms failed to mature because of the early cold spell. Miss Walker is very emphatic upon the art of social dancing, which she no longer considers an art. She believes the dance floor is a place to make friends, and not to display emotions. She expressed a desire to help South catch up with the nation by reviving the old folk dances. This year Miss Walker's gym classes are going to be busy dancing, danc-ing, exercising, and playing games to perfect the poise and the health of her girls. |
