Pros Provide Phys Ed Variety P.E. is important in the school day, said Mr. RoUman, because it gives students an opportunity for recreation after sitting at their desks all day ... It offers them a change after being cooped up in a classroom for five per- iods. It also gives students an education of a physical kind — stretching, strengthening, running — and an awareness of their physical conditions and health. Based on the above criteria, Chugiak ' s 1984-85 physical education teachers did an excellent job, offering students a wide range of courses, with an emphasis on activities that can be continued for a lifetime, long after the end of a nine week class. Sports like badminton and tennis, and fine arts like ballet and jazz, are good examples of physical activi- ties that can be practiced for the whole of an adult life. Chugiak ' s six P.E. teachers — Harry McDonald, Raymond Reekie, Tom RoUman, Steve Primis, Jody Smith, and Pau- line Souter — have been called the best in the district because of their professional attitudes and their abilities, particularly in being able to teach a variety of classes. Classes ranging from weight training to ballet were of- fered. The informal atmosphere of the P.E. class contrasted notably with that of the academic class. Academic, or sit- down-and-study-type classes generally had a pretty for- mal structure, one of lectures and discussions, or working quietly. A P.E. class was much more casual, noisier and freer in ambience, so students were able to relate to each other and to teachers better. P.E. students at Chugiak, then, tended to reflect the positive attributes of their teachers. i, TOP RIGHT: Leaning on the table, Mr. Primis stares at yet another piece of paperwork.
