in It II ROTC Trains At Fort Polk Thirteen hundred cadets from Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, including 22 members from MacArthur, traveled to Fort Polk, Louisiana, for a ROTC Summer Camp. The Irving Independent School District provided funds for their transportation. As in the past, the event was sponsored by MacArthur with the help of Sergeant Hoise Bell and his wife. The cadets learned various aspects of military life, weaponry, and accouterment. Demonstration of M 50 tanks and Ml 6 rifles were given. Escape and survival training and helicopter flying were also included on the agenda. Upon completion of the program, the participants earned a certificate for their training. Two MacArthur students were given special awards of distinction: Glen Golightly received Outstand ing Corps Commander and Johr Camp was named Outstanding of his company. The week ended with a ceremonious military banquet. PE Complex Remodeled After a year of construction, the remodeling of the Physical Education facilities was completed, with the exception of a few minor problems. Once again, students could suit out for class. Remodeling of the department marked an overall change in its operation. These included: lockers instead of baskets, an additional staircase, suits furnished by the school, and various program adjustments. Students were given more varied activity choices and tests over specific courses in physical fitness and outdoor education. One of the few complaints, other than than the extended amount of time need to complete the project, was the lack of towel storage. Coach John Smith added, Physical Education will now be more organized than in past years.
