ROTC and gym have real class The students of the gym classes at Manual saw an odd scene this year. This scene was co-ed gym classes. The program was very well accepted by the students, and there were no serious problems. The use of the same standards was almost impossible. Three things that both girls and boys could participate in were jump-rope, volleyball, and archery. When Mr. Francis Moriarity was asked if he forsaw co-ed locker rooms in the future, he replied, No, but then again I never thought I ' d see co-ed gym classes either. The ROTC department does many things that are not realized by most students. Every morning before school, an ROTC squad raises the flag. At football games, they raise the flag on the pole at the south end of the field. They present the color guard at all home basketball games, and they have the annual job of marching in the Veterans Day parade. The ROTC student is graded on a merit system. One gets points for com- ing to class, participating, working on details, wearing the uniform on every Thursday, and a six weeks test that cov- ers everything that is studied. The merits that the student gains de- termine his rank. During the summer, a student can go to boot camp. By going there, the student ' s chance of promo- tion is enhanced. 24 Physical Education
