Encompassing the successful trial pro- grams of previous years, a sequential guide, com- plete with structural assignments, was put into use. To stimulate the students to reason and to draw parallels, teachers correlated compositions with reading and humanity programs. To enhance the program, lay readers were employed. Modern in- struction was prevalent as language, literature com- position and grammar were integrated in all classes. Speed, developmental, and remedial reading was extended so that more students could become in- volved. At the dedication of the amphitheatre, Eng- lish students presented an outdoor dramatization of George Wythe's life. The talents of each area of the department were utilized as English classes wrote the script, speech classes delivered choral readings, and drama classes enacted tableaux.

Such sports as basketball, touch football, soccer, golf, archery, track and field, gymnastics, and tennis were enthusiastically played by many students. In addition to giving physical en- ergy, tenth graders divided mental energy between driver education and health, while eighth and ninth graders apportioned cranial energy between health and first aid. The intramural program consisted of mixed bowl- ing leagues. Boys also enjoyed homeroom basketball after school. The series of games was climaxed by a championship game. Dad's Night every month was the highlight of the program, with fathers and sons together striving for physical excellence. Beginning-of-the-year aches and pains rewarding- ly culminated in physical fitness. Through both indi- vidual and team efforts, students found satisfaction through participation. Oscar Kuhn Frank C.
