This fall, members of both sexes met on the field to battle for the ball and argue over whether one or both sides of the stick could be used. Co-ed field hockey, along with girls’ fencing, flag football, and boys’ lacrosse expanded the offerings of the Physical Educa¬ tion Department. Strick rules on cuts and absence demanded that excused students sat in the main office during the missed periods; it was almost better to go to gym’ In an attempt to make the mandatory phys¬ ical education requirement more enjoyable. the department sought to provide opportuni¬ ties for both the uncoordinated person and the all-around athlete. Students chose from a variety of different units: yoga, folk dancing, archery, ski conditioning, tennis, and track, as well as the traditional soccer, basketball, vol¬ leyball, and softball. These electives, along with others were designed to help students develop skills and encourage participation in the individual and team sports that interested them.
