This study was conducted to identify the origin of physical education provided in Kwassui Girls' High School (the forerunner of Kwassui Gakuin), which is generally attributed to the achievements of Ms. Mariana Young, the second principal of the school. We conducted a historical analysis based on old photographs and school regulations at that time, records of testimony given by graduates, and other historical documents in the category: "the period of principal Mariana Young" stored in the archive room. We could not find any evidence,such as photographs and notes, of Principal Young herself teaching in physical education classes. However, we discovered a detailed description of a new exercise method developed by Ms.Young, programs for a charity event (including exercise performed to music) and the first school athletic meet, and a school timetable.
