P.£. teaias teSH studeKts to SHAPE UP! Physical Education was an important part of the stu- dents ' lives. The teach- ers in the P.E. Department stressed this throughout the year. The department changed the curriculum and took meas- ures to ensure that the students were properly exercised. Stu- dents were required to wear only red, gold, white, or grey. Fitness days were twice a week. Students were required to pass certain physical fitness tests in order to determine their grades. Other than fitness ex- ercises, the department also al- lowed students to participate in various sporting activities, by Patty Mejia Mrs. Hollander and Erin Ulrich never seem to agree. Both insist that they are right and the other is wrong. Photo by iwn Wazny When you were in high school, whal did you Ihink you would be doing today?

ojiftQK Language SPEAKS OUT The Foreign Language De- partment had three lan- guages to choose from: Spanish, French, or German. Each teacher had his own method of teaching. The For- eign language classes contin- ued to be some of the students ' favorites. Aside from learning the language itself, .students had the benefit of familiarizing themselves with the cultures that went along with the lan- guage. Thus, they had a better understanding of the languge they were learning. by Patty Mejia ▲ Mrs. Pate points out something related to the French culture, the Eifel Tower.

I thought I ' d be playing for the Dallas Cowboys or be in some form of television, because in those days, I was very shy and I thought I ' d be some- thing that people wouldn ' t expect me to be.

Department was designed to accomo- date students who knew little or no English. The depart- ment was very important be- cause it was necessary for stu- dents to have a speaking and working knowledge of the Eng- lish language. The teachers also presented some of the American culture to the students. With the many incoming foreign stu- dents, this proved to be a very important and needed program in the school. The Special Ed- ucation proved to also be a very essential part of the educational process at Wilson. Teachers in this department were there to assist students who needed a lit- tle extra help and attention in their schoolwork. The teachers acted as counselors and fol- lowed the progress of their stu- dents. by Patty Mejia 148 S.S.L. Special Education
