PHYSICAL EDUCATION The development of physical skill, strength and dexterity as well as a sense of well-being and sportsmanship may be described as the long-range goals of the Physical Education Department. Students are given the oppor- tunity to excel in a variety of team sports such as hockey, soccer, softball and football. In addition, opportunities to develop dexterity at individual sports are also available in archery, gymnastics, track and field which range through- out the seasons from fall through early summer. Students are even invited to participate in coeducational activities such as square dancing. The department is not limited to physical activities, however, as practical safety and service to the community are encouraged in classroom activities throughout a three-year study. A combination of practical demonstration and the widely-varied use of audio-visual aids bring subject matter in the fields of health, civil defense, first aids and community hygiene into practical perspective to the students. With such a well-rounded program, it is hoped that the students will face the future physically and mentally fit to deal with the problems of the modem world.

Douglass College HOME ECONOMICS The ingredients for managing a successful home and family or conversely, in our modern world, a successful career and home, are readily available through the Home Economics Department. Courses dealing with all facets of home liv- ing, whether it be a small apartment or a large home, include clothing construction, foods and nutrition, housing and home furnishing, child growth and development and family relations. Class and laboratory enable students to acquire the skills which they, as career women, wives, or mothers, will find necessary. To further develop specific homemaking skills, students are given the opportunity to participate in child care classes conducted in the school and are thus afforded practical ex- perience in caring for small children in the day nursery schools.

East Carolina State College DRIVER EDUCATION Using cars donated by neighbor- ing dealers, eligible juniors receive six hours of “on-the-road” practice as well as weekly classroom theory. Thus, students not only develop safety habits while driving, but also benefit from reduced insurance rates upon successful completion of the course. Sayreville, in having this program, is participating in the current safe- driving program initiated by the New Jersey Division of Motor Ve- hicles to reduce the high accident rate in the state. 25 LEFT TO RIGHT: James Maio.
