This is due to the strong cooperation between the boys' and girls' departments, she added. Mr. William Kiser, head of boys physi- cal education, ,and Miss Jordan worked closely together to devise a schedule that utilized to the fullest extent the limited gym space. This year the girls had more oppor- tunities to choose their sports. The -only requirement was that each girl take a team, a rhythmic and an indi- vidual sport. Freshmen were required to take speedaway, and field hockey was required of all sophomores. As the girls were assigned to activi- ties, rarely did they get the same in- structor two six weeks in succession. Sixth period advanced classes were offered to girls with high ability in 108 ACADEMICS: CURRICULUM tennis, dance and gymnastics. From these classes the varsity team in each sport was chosen. Instructor permis- sion was required. A semester each of student leadership and independent study and research were offered to interested seniors. Pollution, nutrition and population control were among the problems stud- ied in the independent research class. Each boy started the six weeks with 100 points. They were graded 70011 on participation, 15'ZJ skill development and 1596 written or oral examination. Points were added and subtracted on the basis of attitude, participation and attendance. The boys' staff was complemented by Mr. Chuck Hiatt and Mr. Steve Doty. Miss Cherrie Brinlee and Miss Betty Johnson were added to the girls staff.
