h sical Education This year the teachers in the Physical Education department were Mrs. Pederson, Miss Kol- lath, Mrs. Emshoff. Mrs. Maas, Mr. Olson. Mr. Kolpin. Mr. Harris and Mr. Schoessow. Mrs. Gabrielse replaced Mrs. Krieger in the middle ofthe year. Unlike other subjects, the teachers in the Phy. Ed. department taught al- most every type ofclass. This year has brought changes in the Phy. Ed. department. There were two pilot classes started in the ninth grade. ln these particu- lar classes the objectives are given to the students and they have as much time as needed to complete them, while working at their own rate. This is similiar to the Unipac system in Math. The ninth and tenth graders have a core curriculum. At the eleventh and twelfth grade levels students can choose which field they want to work in. Such as: team sports, co-ed, individual sports, dance I and II. aquatics, and advanced gymnastics. Ad- vanced Phy. Ed. is also offered. This course meets 5 days a week and there is also a teaching re- quirement ofat least one hour per week. Physiology ofexercise and relationships between stress and performance are also studied. Fencing was taught by the Madi- son Fencing Club. At the beginning and the end of the school year there is a I2 min- ute run for girls and a l5 minute run for boys. The purpose is to measure the cardial vasculor strength ofthe person and to see if the Phy. Ed. classes are building ll. 80 , ,A if Randy Braun takes a shot during Advanced Phy. Ed.
