Sub-Freshmen The Physical Education De- partment also teaches the Health course. Health is a basic course of human relationships, reproduction, veneral diseases, contraceptives, and puberty. The purpose is to make teenages aware of these concepts, and to stress the need to be healthy both physically and mentally. The PECE class, (Program of Education and Career Explora- tion), involves student participa- tion in hands — on work exper- iences in each of the six broad occupational categories in var- ious community settings for short periods of time. The pro- gram is exploratory in nature and is not designed to train or pre- pare students for specific occu- pations. Nor, is the PECE curricu- lum designed to encourage stu- dents to make specific vocational choices. The program involves work exploration, group guid- ance, and related learning. The activities include tours, small group discussions, task assign- ments, surveys of students inter- ests, group and individual use of printed and audio-visual career information resourses, and group and or individual projects.
