Imparls Military Discipline The Reserve Officers Training Corps is a course for those who want to train for future military serv- ice. Because it is conducted on a military basis, it is a change from regular school life. The R.O.T.C. is conducted by regular Anny personnel, assisted by students who have completed three years of instruction. Three days a week are spent in marching and drilling, while two days a week are devoted to class instruction. All of these activities occur during zero period. Aside from routine the R.O.T.C. participates in many activities. On January 19 members of the unit took a trip, which proved to be very educa- tional, to Ford Ord. After school, if the fellows wish, they may develop their marksmanship on the rifle range. The Color Guard carries the national and school flags at each home football game and at each pa- rade in which the R.O.T.C. participates. R.O.T.C. members have brought many honors to Alameda High Schoolg the students can be justly proud of such a fine training corps. LEFT: GIRLS' P.E. DEPARTMENT-left lo right: Miss E.

A Boys' P.E. class plays a spirited game of busketbali. P.E. Provides A Pleasanl Break Many times students are heard saying that P.E. is their favorite class, for it provides a pleasant change in the daily routine of classes. It is an op- portunity to leave behind the complexities of the classroom and to step into a world where energy and spirited competition are primary. For the fellows the choice of sports varies with the season. Such sports as football, track, and vol- leyball keep the boys busy in the fall. As the seasons Change, basketball, swimming and baseball are offered. Although the sixth period class consists of members of the school teams, the other classes have just as much spirit and fun. Girls are by no means left out of the competition and fun. Their active schedule of sports includes speedaway, basketball, volleyball, and swimming. The girls play an active game of limphasis is placed on both the rules and the basic skills of the games. If she wishes, a girl may replace the regular physical education course with that of modern dance. Dance is a progressive course which teaches everything from the basic rhythm patterns to the composition of dances for presentation at various school functions. ' At various times throughout the year courses in First Aid and Hygiene are taken up by both fellows and 'Sgalsf' Girls also study the techniques of Home Nursing. Surely, everyone would agree that with such a variety of activities, there is never a dull moment in the physical education classes. Speedaway during P.E.
