Development of physical coordination and stamina were what the Physical Education and ROTC departments instilled in each student.


 Participation in various sports and development of physical and mental health for all students were the main goals of the Physical Education department.


 This year the department experimented with a close coed relationship between the boys' and girls' classes Students learned the fundamentals of basketball, softball, bowling, volleyball, track, tennis, swimming, and soccer.


 Those interested in athletics beyond their regular classes joined the intramural program, where they formed teams and competed in week organized tournaments.


 Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) exposed students to the development of good citizenship, leadership, self-reliance, basic military skills, and responsiveness to constituted authority.


 First year introduction to leadership development, second year intermediate leadership development, and third year applied leadership development were the three divisions of the curriculum. Topics included map reading, first aid, rifle marksmanship and military psychology.


 Cadets became members of the "A" Company, Drill Team, Rifle Team or the Honor and Color Guards.
