7 PE students are in shape The physical education program is not only a required class, but also a necessary one. Semesters are divided into six-week units of various activities. The units are choosen by the students according to their own interests. Selections include individual activities, such as floor hockey and basketball. Stu- dents are able to compete against and compare themselves to other students. PEOPEL helps students with special needs in phys- ical education to succeed with the help of peer- teachers. PEER-Teaching is a key element of PEO- PEL, a program designed for students who will benefit more from an individualized physical edu- cation program than from general education. Under the direction of physical education special- ists, Ronadel Davis and Tom cady, this class pro- vides a one-to-one instruction ratio in a coeduca- tional setting for up to 40 students (20 PEOPEL students and 20 student aids.) Danny Bertrand (below) concentrates on bench pressing. Jim Ellwanger goes up to block John Cox ' s basketball. Cunder Thompson shows his speed on the ropes Keith Gardner (opposite page, top left), National Council of Alcohol, tells Cindy Clifford that alcohol and keys don ' t mix. Ron Baeth reads car insurance rates to the class. Wayne McCally and Natlie Rush concentrate on their test. 121— : 22

« 10} Driver education students are eager to receive license Because knowing how to drive is such an important part of every day life, driver education is a very popu- lar class, one that students find very essential. The course is divided into three sections: textbook, simulator class, and driving instruction. During the year, a special speaker, Keith Gardner, National Council of Alcohol representative, impressed the students with statistics on drunk-driving and tough laws. This course is directed by five teachers who in- structed 270 students during first semester. Second semester, three teachers, Larry Hayes, Bo Belding, and Ron Baeth, remained to help 138 stu- dents with their driving techniques. 23
