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.

., DRIVER EDUCATION, HEALTH, ADULT NIGHT SCHOOL Eight classes study at nightg Sophs behind wheel, in class I don't know what I'm doing, but it's fun. This was the opinion of many of the people enrolled in the ADULT EVE- NING SCHOOL. The classes were held for two semesters from September through April. Most of the students took the courses just for the fun of it. Courses ranged from conversational Spanish to oil painting, and all clas- ses were two and one half hours long. Mr. James Hazzard, evening school dean, said, The purpose of the evening school is to provide opportunities for adults who wish to increase their vo- cational, civic, social and personal competencies. I didn't mind the movies in DRIVER ED. If you don't learn to be careful after watching them, you never will. Driver education was required of all sophomores as a nine-week physical education substitute. The students were taught three weeks of first aide and six weeks Arizona highway laws. They also touched on what to look for when buying a car. the history of the automobile and the girls were taught the fundamentals of 110 ACADEMICS: CURRICULUM tire changing. Driver education Head Nlr. Dick McCon- nel said, Our main objective is to teach the responsibilities and dangers involved in driving. DRIVER TRAINING was a two-week course where the student gained valuable driv- ing experience under the watchful eye of a certified instructor. One sopho- more girl said, I was so nervous that I could hardly hold the wheel The instructors had their tense moments, too. Mr. Bud Doolen said, At first I was real uneasy, because I was afraid I couldn't handle some of the students but as I got used to it I learned to talk them through certain situations. HEALTH EDUCATION was the second nine-week physical education substitute for all sophomores. Personal, emotional and mental health along with nutrition, fitness and sex education were touched on. Classes were augmented by films, guest speakers and panel discussions. Mr. Dick Cooper was health coordinator.
