Women's Physical Education Department: Photo of Geraldine Toops, Virginia Hunt, & Nan Nichols. Hunt and Nichols were hired in 1963 and would go on to start varsity programs for women in field hockey and basketball starting in 1965. Hunt would also start volleyball in 1967, while Nichols would start swimming in 1973. Department Chair, Maria Sexton, is not pictured. This was the last year that the women and men would have separate departments for physical education. Departments merged in 1964-65 with the arrival of Robert "Bob" Bruce. Women wore dresses and skit outfits. The administrative head at the time was Maria Sexton.
