Faculty Works With G.O. To Extend Health Education This year for the first time the Health Department worked directly with the G.O. Health, Safety and Cafe- teria Committee to extend health education to the entire student body. The department and committee held lectures, films and after-school forums dealing with contemporary health problems. Introduced into the sophomore curriculum was a great- er emphasis on smoking, drinking and preliminary drug experimentation. Seeking to extend discussion of psycho-sexual adjust- ment. the junior level curriculum called for more time on physiological and psychological background, social prob- lems (illegitimacy, abortion, venereal disease), prepara- tion for marriage and family life.
