Archive Assisted Bedford Bpeosa College Jump Perform Physical Pupil Pupils Queue Student Students Waits 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1937, depicts a line of eager students, known as 'Queue,' patiently waiting their turn to perform an assisted jump during a Physical Education class at Bedford College in London, England. The college, which was a pioneer in women's higher education, placed great emphasis on the importance of physical fitness and wellbeing. The students, dressed in their gym uniforms, display a sense of focus and determination as they anticipate their turn to leap into the air, supported by their instructors. The assisted jump was a common exercise in Physical Education classes during this era, designed to improve flexibility, coordination, and strength. The black-and-white image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when physical education played a significant role in shaping the lives of young people. The students' expressions of concentration and excitement are a testament to the importance of physical activity and the joy it brings, a value that remains relevant today. This photograph is a precious historical artifact, captured by a skilled photographer, and is a reminder of the rich history of Physical Education and the role it plays in shaping the lives of individuals and communities. The image is part of the BPEOSA (British Physique and Sports Association) archive, which documents the history of physical education and sports in the UK.
