JC men and women 1 he men s physical education program was under the direction of Mr. Emer) ' Carter, assisted by Mr, Norman Armstrong and Mr. Lloyd Elmore. When the young men started classes, they decided l)etween participation in class activities or off-campus sports, such as bowling during the winter semester or goll in the spring, for two hours a week. To be elig¬ ible for these activities, a student had to pass the Marine’s Physical Fitness Test with an ability score of 200. Every two weeks those students reported to the PE office to have their activity cards checked. Students who remained in the PE classes learned the general rules and proper scoring in the various sports available: basketball, tennis, tumbling, track, and weight lifting. Above all, go xl sportsmanship, physical fitness, and athletic agility remain the ulti¬ mate goals of the physical education department.

The engineering curriculum prepared men for responsible technical positions. At one time or another everyone has surely seen a couple ot Junior College students peering through a transit at some distant object discernable only to the students surveying. This practice was just one aspect of the Junior College’s program for young engineers. Not only were they given a solid foundation in mathe ¬ matics and engineering principles, but also in English, chemistrv, physics, and business. Eventually these eager men will be building tbe roads, bridges, and buildings of tomorrow. MR. FRANK SCOTT, B.Ed., and A.M. GARY MUETH used a scratch pen to finish his architectural drawing in Mr. Scott ' s class. Mike Owens and Jack Frost learned how to use the transit. MR. SCOTT explained a math problem to his engineers.
