A bond election provided funds for swimming pools, science research centers, expanded library facilities, and junior and senior high schools. Voluntary club programs replaced activity periods, shortening the school day. Anthropo- logy, sociology, experimental world history, and diversified art media characterized curri- cular revisions.
