nf 1975-'76 started out with a new required program for all freshmen, with an optional elective program for all other students. The only other requirement besides the freshman year is one more year of physical education, which may be taken anytime during the sophomore through senior years. The Program stresses carry-over activities which the students will be able to use in their after-school years. The year was highly successful, as enrollment numbers were high, and many new courses offered the student a chance to individually work on a specific set of skills. Archery , golf, bowling and many other sports were offered to create later life interests and areas of specialization . ttin' in Shape 26 Physical Education M. a .. ...

Quarter e asses to stay? This year the social studies curriculum was set up on a quarter system . This system was used to give the students a greater selection of classes in which to choose and also provided for a more specialized unit of study for some students. American history was broken down to cover specific periods in history like the Revolutionary period, Civil War period and our modern atomic age. A student could also choose to study, American expansion, the Depression era, and how America became an industrial giant. The government section was broken down also . Federalism, Congress and the Presidency , State and Local was joined by the contemporary Political Parties and Electoral College class which follow quite closely with the present political campaign. Political science was also touched when classes were offered dealing the U . S. 's involvement with other nations and their problems. World was broken down into specialized topic areas never before studied individually such as Africa, The Middle East, and Ancient history .
