An 80?! Oh no, this course was supposed to bring my grade up with easy nineties. . - the lament of this particular senior has often been heard before. Health can be a funn class compared to some of the heavier loads in other subjects, but make no mistake, there's still a fair share of work to be done. That inclu- des reaction papers, textbook work and, of course, testing. The range of topics touches on Mental Health, Drugs, Sexuality, and Death. This is the last year that seniors as a whole will be taking Health. Since two years ago, Harborfields students have been taking Health as fresh- men. A result of this change has been the idea of offering Health oriented electives - family planning, for example to the students. The fall of ,86 brought us some notable changes in the physical edu- cation program. The blanket exclu- sion policy for Varsity team players was struck down and replaced by a modified exclusion program, among the changes was a required physical fitness test on which athletes must score at least an 8O'Z:. The new attendance policy brought more groans and moans from the student body. Now eight absences in one semester 2 no credit. The points, however, taken off for each absence could be made up. At the helm of the department is our new athletic director, Mr. John Kabat. us this year. We should be in the playojs.
