Health Department maintains curriculum' Physical Education continues electives ost people think health ll is not necessary, be- cause they know every- thing about it already. However, when they take the state-re- quired course, they are sur- prised to find out that they don't know everything about their own personal health, according to Mrs. Janet Rothwell, instruc- tional supervisor of the Health Department. I can think of no more valu- able information that than which concerns how to improve and maintain your own personal health. Without good health, nothing else in life will be as en- joyable, says Rothwell. g The Health Department must maintain a state-mandated cur- riculum, vvhich includes nine units. As a result of this, the Health Department has not found any room for new activi- ties or changes in the curriculum this year, besides obtaining new textbooks. Miss Michelle Harvey is the newest health teacher at Glen- brook South. Before teaching at GBS, Miss Harvey had graduat- ed from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, with a bachelor of arts in community health education and a minor in general science. Afterwards, she became a student teacher at Ev- anston Township High School and then came here. l'm enjoy- ing it here, says Harvey. Being a health teacher, Har- vey knows how very important health is. However, she feels that kids aren't concerned 136fDlwsical Education gl Health enough about their health. We're only aware of health when we're sick. I want to make kids realize health is with them every single day, concluded Harvey. The Physical Education De- partment tries to offer sports that will carry over into the rest of the students' lifetimes. Part of their program is the electives of- fered to sophomores, juniors and seniors. They seem to be working well, says Mr. Don Ra- beor, head of the department. The PE Department has not made any significant changes this year, or in the last three years, for that matter. They're aren't too many changes you can make, said Rabeor. Cross- country skiing, started only last year, had to be cancelled this year due to the lack of snow, which made skiing impossible. A new unit, aerobic conditioning, which mainly involves modern dancing to music, was added to PE offerings. SENIOR MARGARET MELNIS aims at her target during archery class.

IMC, Guidance serve students' needs According to the Webster's New World Dictionary, a library isa room or building where a collection of books are kept, but the Instructional Materials Cen- ter of GBS offers more to stu- dents. The IMC is also a place to study where students can find out facts from reference books about the world in which they live. JUNIOR LARRY NOSBAUM makes an appointment to see his counselor. 138flMC 1 Counseling Sometimes the library isn't a study place, because for some students it's more of a meeting place. So, during the lunch per- iods, the librarians instituted a rule that requires students to have passes after the first 20 minutes of each of the lunch per- iods in order to gain entry to the IMC. The librarians feel that the IMC is a place for thought and quiet. Senior Grant Peters feels that the pass rule has its drawbacks. When I'm trying to finish some last minute home- work, and I don't have a pass, it's very hectic trying to finish it in the hall, where noisy students are walking around talking to each other. For the IMC, a significant change is a great reduction in book loss. The security system has reduced the book loss by about 91 percent, resulting in a projected savings of S11,000. FRESHMAN PAUL PYLE, a lab assis- tant, studiously files cards in the IMC. The 1979-80 school year for the IMC has been distinguished by a growing collection of mate- rials, a great reduction in book loss, and most importantly, bet- ter student use of materials and facilities, stated Mr. Carl Pasco, coordinator of Instruc- tional Materials Services. Counseling ln an effort to continue the growth and development of its career education program, the Glenbrook South Guidance De- partment instituted a job place- ment service to aid students in finding part-time jobs. Utilizing the Illinois Job Ser- vice IlJSi. which is a job place- ment service to help students find employment, part-time jobs are developed in the community by a worker who contacts all prospective employers in the Glenview-Northbrook area. Only people who meet the em- ployer's criteria, such as neces- sary basic skills, are sent out for .X further interviews. The program came about in mid-November 1979, and the students are responding to the IJS program very well, com- mented Mr. Ray Rukstales Ica- reer education coordinatori. The IJS counselor, Mrs. Au- drey Goldfine, was at GBS on Tuesdays and was kept quite busy on that day. She also worked at Glenbrook North on Thursdays, and for the other three days of the working week she is an employee at the IJS office in Evanston. She has con- firmed placements of aboutfour people so far with a dozen tenta- tive placements Ias of Januaryi. GBS is continuing to refine and improve career education for students. Major emphasis of the Guidance Department is on career education development and individual counseling with juniors and seniors for college plans. stated Mr. Emil Berzinski Iassistant principal in charge of guidancei. 1 x f- - --, ., 1-as f, - ,,.- f . sq--'fr' ' .,,,,,,.,.-.--wr-sf
